arch does not support partial upgrades. it is simply to much of a hassle, to keep track of every versioned dependency. so, if you choose to update partially, you have to deal with it on your own (as you already do). i think there have been several diskussions about that on this ML, so if you need more info, maybe a search in the archives can help you.
Thank you.
I guess I will search for another solution. Maybe a chroot for the outdated version of virtualbox. OTOH I don't know if a chroot won't cause USB issues.
At the moment I can keep it the way it is, but within a few month it might be better to find another solution.

You should give qemu+kvm+spice a try, I have found that it seems to work acceptably even for usb redirection. Bonus points: no more trouble after updates and it should work over the network. -- Mauro Santos
