This crappy trolling isn't helping your case. Wow, you consider my requests as trolling? Really? :(. Well, maybe not trolling, but it was quite impolite. A polite way would be to send an e-mail to the maintainer [1] and attach a patch. Personally, I'm missing comments for official packages.

Hi Ralf, Following upstream when the software is broken IMO doesn't make sense. Arch Linux policy is to follow upstream whenever it's possible and things generally work. A bug with USB doesn't mean VirtualBox is broken. Please submit a bug to the upstream, and use the older version for now.
