Previously, the extension pack files were installed in a manner that bypassed pacman’s tracking (via a custom script that ran VBoxManage extpack install ...). This can lead to issues during system upgrades. To avoid conflicts, you can use one of the following methods:
- Uninstall
virtualbox-ext-vncbefore upgrading the system, then install it again afterward. - Run
VBoxManage extpack uninstall 'VNC'as root before performing the upgrade. - Temporarily instruct
pacmanto overwrite the existing files by running:
pacman -Syu --overwrite '/usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC/*'
