Using older version of a package

General system Pacman & AUR helpers
1

I am trying to use vagrant (which is a tool that automate vm setup ) with virtualbox. The problem is that arch virtualbox is too uptodate and support for version 7.2 is not ready for it. Is there a way to rollback just virtualbox?

I usually use AppImages or Distrobox for such senarios, but virtualbox seems too integrated with system for such solution

yay -S downgrade

The script will list available previous versions (from your cache and Arch Linux Archive). Select your desired version, and it will install it for you. When prompted, you can add VirtualBox to the IgnorePkg list to prevent future updates.
