Try updating your system with:

pacman -Syyu

first and then try installing VB again.

ricklinux · May 18, 2022, 2:53am

Did you follow the wiki to install virtualbox?

sudo pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso

pogo · May 18, 2022, 9:17am

Yes I was installing it based on the steps from the wiki.
I can install the linux-headers and then virtualbox-guest-iso.
I only cant get virtualbox to install.

sudo pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso

gives the same error.

~$ sudo pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-guest-iso
opozorilo: virtualbox-guest-iso-6.1.34-1 je posodobljen -- ponovno nameščanje

Unfortunately it didn’t fix it. I get the exact same error.

pebcak · May 18, 2022, 9:27am

Try the following:

Refresh your mirrorlist from the welcome app or run something like:

reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Note that this command could take some time to run.
sudo mv /var/lib/pacman/sync /var/lib/pacman/sync.orig
sudo pacman -Syyu

and then try again to install VB.

I installed the aur virtualbox-bin package with yay and it installs without any issues. After I tried to replace the install with the regular virtualbox install and i got this:

~$ sudo pacman -S virtualbox
razreševanje odvisnosti...
iskanje spornih paketkov...
:: virtualbox in virtualbox-bin sta v sporu. Ali naj odstranim virtualbox-bin? [d/N] d
napaka: priprava na prenos je spodletela (ni mogoče izpolniti odvisnosti)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'VIRTUALBOX-HOST-MODULES' required by virtualbox

I dont know what changed from before (tried installing this but it didn’t work then) but after getting virtualbox-host-modules-arch

sudo pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules-arch

virtualbox now installs.

ricklinux · May 18, 2022, 2:26pm

You probably selected the wrong one to install originally. It has to be the virtual-host-modules-arch and you probably selected the first one in the list.

From the wiki:
You will be asked for installing the core-packages:

for linux kernel choose virtualbox-host-modules-arch
for other kernels (like LTS) choose virtualbox-host-dkms
