Hi,

it seems to be the same for 6.0.12. However, I tested it on September
16. when the kernel still was in 'staging' [1].

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep 2019-09-16\ 12 /var/log/pacman.log 
[2019-09-16 12:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U http://archlinux.thaller.ws/staging/os/x86_64/linux-5.3.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz [snip]
[2019-09-16 12:07] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> dkms install vboxhost/6.0.12 -k 5.3.0-arch1-1-ARCH
[2019-09-16 12:07] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.3.0-arch1-1-ARCH (x86_64)

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q virtualbox-bin 
virtualbox-bin 6.0.12-1

Due to a complete breakdown of my relationship bank's online-banking,
telephone-banking and no support by bank branches and since I had and
still have got job interviews, I had and still have got no time to care
about doing bug reports. Bug reports and trouble shooting this and
other issues is on my todo list for the time when migration to another
bank is done and job hunting is finished.

Regards,
Ralf
