pacman offers option to abort removing virtualbox but doesn't abandon

I just went to remove virtualbox-ose and got the following message

# pacman -R virtualbox-ose
checking dependencies...
===> Warning: saved states and snapshots are not compatible between different 
===> versions of VirtualBox. 
===> Merge all snapshots, restore all saved states and shutdown all VMs properly
===> before attempting to upgrade.
===> Please press Enter to continue or, if necessary, you can cancel
===> this operation by quitting pacman with Ctrl+C.

So I hit Ctrl-C but the remove completed anyway

^Cerror: call to waitpid failed (Interrupted system call)
(1/1) removing virtualbox-ose                       [########################################################################] 100%

I checked, just to make sure that it did do the remove and it did

 # pacman -Qi virtualbox-ose
error: package "virtualbox-ose" not found

This needs fixing

FYI - Community packages are a separate project in the bugtracker. I have moved this for you.
