For the time being virtualbox6-ext-oracle is available here, but... why would you move to 7 while Arch Linux is still on 6?

@cmonkey
Run this one-liner as a normal user: SNAPSHOT=aur-25068a121717;cd /tmp;curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/${SNAPSHOT}.tar.gz;tar xf ${SNAPSHOT}.tar.gz; cd ${SNAPSHOT};makepkg -is PKGBUILD and remember to deselect this package when updating aur packages until virtualbox 7+ is in the repos.

How to downgrade?

Why was this updated? The "official" virtualbox package hasn't been updated to 7.0 yet. Are you sure it is ok? It displayed some errors after installation.

I would think that running virtualbox 6.1 with the 7.0 extension pack would be a bad idea. Not sure why it was updated here when virtualbox hasn't been updated. Just stick with the version that matches your virtualbox installation.

I get same error as shoryuken when I updated today and whenever I try to manually reinstall.

7.0.0 seems to install but there are post-install errors for me:

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