Hi,

I was updating today when I got the following error:

:: Running pre-transaction hooks...
(1/2) Removing initramfs...
(2/2) Remove DKMS modules
Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!
Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

The DKMS package did update to 3.1.1-1 , I did check here for bugs:

I also ran ‘dkms status’ and got the following output:

vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE: broken

Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

I also did try running “sudo dkms autoinstall” to confirm the error:

❯ sudo dkms autoinstall
Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE is broken! Missing the source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

Thought I would reach out if anyone has ideas on how to address the error?

It looks like it is pointing to old kernels and an outdated vbox version.Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall virtualbox-host-dkms.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don’t have virtualbox-host-dkms installed. I’m actually using libvirt (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libvirt), for a Virtual Manager.

There was a report yesterday for some strange behavior of dkms (maybe with the archlinux packaged hooks). I am not sure if it relates with your issue, but it could.

Please show the output of

pacman -Q | grep virtualbox

just in case.

kagetora13 · October 25, 2024, 8:53pm

I ran it, an no results.

This is the libvirt install:

❯ sudo pacman -Q | grep libvirt
libvirt 1:10.8.0-1
libvirt-glib 5.0.0-1
libvirt-python 1:10.8.0-

Can you uninstall dkms? There may be some old leftover from it.

kagetora13 · October 25, 2024, 9:32pm

I have both the ZEN and LTS Kernels installed. Maybe I should try just re-installing the problem module?

Is this the procedure you are suggesting?

Remove:

dkms remove vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE

Then install back:

dkms install vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE --all

kagetora13 · October 25, 2024, 9:51pm

So looks like its not liking uninstall or installing the module:

Remove:

❯ dkms remove vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE --all

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE/source/dkms.conf does not exist.

Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE is broken!
Missing the source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

Install:

❯ dkms install vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE

Error! vboxhost/6.1.26_OSE is broken!
Missing the source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!

I do see this in the directory structure:

lib/dkms/vboxhost🔒

I did try uninstalling with “paru -R acpi_call-dkms dkms”, but the /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost directory is still there.

kagetora13 · October 25, 2024, 10:31pm

Ultimately I did the following (assuming I did not need vboxhost).

Uninstall dkms and acpi_call-dkms

paru -R acpi_call-dkms dkms

Delete the /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost director recursively

sudo rm -R  /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost

Re-install dkms and acpi_call-dkms

paru -S acpi_call-dkms dkms

Ran a dkms status to make sure no errors:
