Thanks so much for bringing this awesome software to our lives! I use Arch as my primary OS on my home system, but at work I use it as a virtual machine. Second: ------- This is the first time I've ever submitted a bug/patch/request feature, I tried to follow protocol, and it doesn't seem like the package is broken, just out of date, so I apologize in advance if I have erroneously flagged this package as out of date, when I should have submitted a bug fix. Issue: ------ When I recently attempted to upgrade my system with "pacman -Syu" I got an error that the VirtualBox Guest Utils version number is out of sync? So I uninstalled the virtualbox-guest-utils package and pushed through the update, then attempted to reinstall virtualbox-guest-utils package, however the install fails. (See the "Copy of CLI output messages" below), as a result my virtual Arch Linux instance no longer supports the full screen mode that I love, and instead is a smallish 800x600 window, and while its not unusuable, it is a bit of a bummer. But I know this is a temporary situation :) I searched the forums and saw a message that the latest distribution of virtualbox-guest-utils has apparently not been pushed out of the test repositories into the public repos. ref: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1370450 I noticed that several people recommended filing a bug report, but when I searched the bug queue online I couldn't find any tickets that had been submitted, I also noticed there were multiple warnings that if a package was "borked" to not submit a bug fix, but rather to flag the package as "out-of-date". I located the package reference page on the Arch website and searched again for any bugs/issues related to what I am experiencing. Thus this message. The messages on the forum are from 3 days ago and I just checked to see if this issue had been resolved and it had not, I was wondering if there is a resolution on the horizon? Again thanks so much for your time and attention! Sincerely, Jesse Palmquist [email protected] System Details: --------------- I am running Ubuntu 13.04 as the host OS, and I have Arch Linux installed on Virtualbox. # uname -a Linux arch 3.12.7-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 12 13:09:09 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux Copy of CLI output messages: ---------------------------- # pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION<15", a dependency of "virtualbox-guest-utils" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: virtualbox-guest-utils :: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade?
