Error vboxhost while updating pacman

I updated my system and I got the following error message:

Error! There are no instances of module: vboxhost

As far as I understand this is related to virtualbox.  In fact I am not using virtualbox package.  I haven't notice any malfunctions yet in my system, but I am unsure if that's a problem or not.  Should I just remove virtualbox too solve that?

This is my pacman.log from this update.

Re: Error vboxhost while updating pacman

Never -Sy $package.

If you are not using virtualbox, why have you enabled the dkms hook?

Re: Error vboxhost while updating pacman

I did run -Sy to update an individual package.  I run a full system update using the followings:

sudo pacman -Syuvw
sudo pacman -Suv

If you have any comments or recommendations for system update please feel free.

I don't know how I enabled dkms hook.  Should I remove virtualbox and disable dkms hook?

Re: Error vboxhost while updating pacman

I was referring to this:

[2016-07-20 21:15] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syy'
[2016-07-20 21:15] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists
[2016-07-20 21:16] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S webpy'
[2016-07-20 21:16] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S python2-webpy'

Read the virtualbox wiki page re. dkms.

Re: Error vboxhost while updating pacman

OK, thanks.  That was after the update, I have this 'habit' to run pacman -Syy before any new installation (and after the full system update).  I understand that I should quit this 'habit'.

Re: Error vboxhost while updating pacman

I removed the vboxhost using: 

dkms remove vboxhost/<version> --all

That was successful, thought I reboot so I do not have the log.

I also removed virtualbox and its depedencies, but I got the same error:

Is it OK that I removed dkms?
