Notice:

To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.

@samueldy fixed, thanks for reporting.

When updating to 7.2.6-1, hashes are wrong for some files:

@Xiaozhu1337 sorry, but CachyOS is not supported. Please seek help in your distribution support channels. At the time of writing, the Arch Linux linux package is at version 6.14, and everything is working fine.

Hi mikaelblomkvists, "pamac" is unsupported software, so you need to know how to use it. Btw. yaourt, yet another unsupported AUR helper, is outdated since years, but still gets the correct version.

$ yaourt -S virtualbox-bin

You are the packager set by the PACKAGER variable in /etc/makepkg.conf .

FWIW if building a package from AUR fails, then before writing a comment, you not only need to build without an AUR helper, you even must build in a clean chroot.

@dbermond here you have, the command pamac info virtualbox-bin-guest-iso returns among other what's below. The packager information is missing. Upgrading this package brings no effect, I upgraded it 5 times already, and it keeps showing as the older 7.1.0-1.

pamac info virtualbox-bin-guest-iso
Name                  : virtualbox-bin-guest-iso

Version               : 7.1.0-1

@mikaelblomkvists sorry, but I could not understand anything that you mean. Patching the package too much? My name is not at metadata? Pacman does not warn about updates for AUR packages, so it looks like you are using something unsupported, like an AUR helper or a distribution other than Arch Linux.

When you patch too much, so that you patch own version identifier, then you hacked a package manager.

This package claims its version is 7.1.2-1 but in fact the version that gets installed is 7.1.0-1. I updated it 4 times already, but the package manager still claims there is an update for this package available. @dbermond your name is not present the package metadata btw.

@sf1nk5 @whmblr I could reproduce your issue, and the segmentation fault you were getting should be fixed now after the last update.
