[SOLVED] upgrade breaks virtualbox

Hello,
After today update (arch 64 system, kernel 3.3.4-1, virtialbox 4.1.14-1) and sytem reboot I got error loading virtualbox modules

ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Invalid argument
ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetflt': Invalid argument

Attempt to manually load module has the same result

# modprobe vboxdrv
ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Invalid argument

Reinstallation does not help either

# pacman -S virtualbox-modules
warning: virtualbox-modules-4.1.14-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): virtualbox-modules-4.1.14-1

Total Installed Size:   0.15 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0.00 MiB
...
...
In order to use the new version, reload all virtualbox modules manually.

# modprobe vboxdrv
ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Invalid argument

Has anyone else the same issue?

Re: [SOLVED] upgrade breaks virtualbox

The current version is 4.1.14-2.  Do a full upgrade and try again

Indeed, it seems it was the out-of-sync mirror problem. Upgrading to 4.1.14-2 resolve issue. Thanks a lot skunktrader!
