Re: virtualbox-modules cannot resolve dependecies

Hi. I ran into same issue. I had unstable repository in pacman.conf, so I removed it and it solved the problem :\.

Re: virtualbox-modules cannot resolve dependecies

this is because the vm* pkg theoretically has o support for the newer kernel yet
o either rebuild it and see if it works against the new one
find a patch for the new kernel and rebuild

or if you don't use it currently you could force the upgrade
pacman -Syud (d to ignore the dependency)
this way you can continue to test the new pkgs

you may wanna check the bug tracker a more permanent fix(patch) may have been submitted there
if there exists a bug report
