Hello,
I'm a beginner with Archlinux. I have installed an Archlinux VM on Virtualbox running on Debian. The networking is working fine and I have run "pacman -Syy" and reinstalled pacman with "pacman -S pacman"
I located the package by searching on the term "virtualbox" at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/
However, when I run "pacman -S virtualbox-ext-oracle" in the VM I get this error:
"error: target not found: virtualbox-ext-oracle"
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

oh, sorry, my fault; I had a look in my Backups; I lost group membership one month ago because of removing and reinstalling virtualbox
I did not recognize it, because my USB-Devices were still listed in the USB Settings
sorry for the suspicion

How could you loose a group membership because of this package?
Fortunately we hunt duplicates on our spare time, my main mistake is to not have killed it quickly.

Now it works, I lost my vboxusers group membership with the new package.
I know it's "only" AUR; but I'm not very happy, that the "Duplicate" was simply deleted.

@dixi_minga: It was removed as duplicate. Could you be a little more specific, why this one is not working for you?

I cant find anymore the package virtualbox-extension-pack; this was the only one for me, which works ?

There is no version dependency on this package on purpose! You could read comments back from 2011 to understand why.
