News draft: virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention
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. --- 8< --- 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/*' ``` --- 8< --- -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
