Hello everybody,

I am about to clean up and fix the virtualbox-ext-vnc package, which is
a split package of virtualbox.
This requires manual intervention, so about to publish a news item.
David and I came up with this. Please speak up if you have any
improvements.

virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention

Previously, we installed its contents in a way that made `pacman` not
aware of the files (using `VBoxManage extpack install ...` from an
install script). To mitigate issues during upgrade, you can use one of
the following methods:
- Uninstall `virtualbox-ext-vnc` before upgrading the system, then
installing it again.
- Run `VBoxManage extpack uninstall 'VNC'` as root before upgrading the
system.
- Instruct `pacman` once to overwrite the existing files:

```bash
pacman -Syu --overwrite '/usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC/*'
```
