[aur-requests] [PRQ#34771] Deletion Request for virtualbox-modules-lts
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox-modules-lts [2]: Oprhaned package, created in 2017, last updated in Feb 2021. Name and description a little vague, but it seems this was intended to build virtualbox-host-modules for the Arch linux-lts kernel. Already in 2017, it was indicated that its provides field is wrong, but it was not addressed. Also there are other reports of build failures from 2020 and 2021, none of which have been replied to. As of now this package is definitely not needed, as the Arch [community] repo does provide 'VIRTUALBOX-HOST-MODULES' in virtualbox-host-dkms package. That package expliciy declares: replaces= virtualbox-host-modules-lts. The package works with the linux-lts kernel if that is installed. Therefore this orphaned and broken AUR package is superfluous and not worth keeping. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/virtualbox-modules-lts/
