virtualbox_bin 2.2.2 to virtualbox_2.2.4 not updating

I noticed that AUR has vitualbox_bin 2.2.4

I use yaourt and pacman of course.

I can't get 2.2.4 to show up / update.

Could use a tip on this.

don't relay on yaourt to update it. just use aur interface, http://aur.archlinux.org , search virtualbox_bin, download the tarball,extra,makepkg -i and voila!

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks wonder.... anyone know if I can put the tarball anywhere and it will put everything where the yaourt assist method does?
no real problem/concern whatever happens of course, though I'm interested in what I might need to know for cleanest possible success.

Also, usually yaourt is updating this for me. Wonder why it's not today.

thank you again!!
