Disastrous update

I updated my arch yesterday (skipping kernel updates) and it caused my (and couple of million of other users') bluetooth deamon to constantly run at 100%,

So I tried today to fix it by running full update. What a mistake that was - my internet became unusable (pings are tollerable, but page load times are abysmal) and VirtualBox running XP is totally screwed up sending constant Write delay failures when opening files form ext4 partition connected to it a s network drive.

Re: Disastrous update

could you post a list of what packages you updated? probably be the best place to start trouble-shooting.

Re: Disastrous update

Can this be somehow retrieved?
I remember kernel-related, vbox and maybe 5-6 other small packages.

You aren't using the testing repo, are you?

Re: Disastrous update

No, just plain arch.
Looks like most of the issues have gone away. The only one left is this Virtualbox windows write delay error
