[aur-general] aur/virtualbox-bin or extra/dkms is broken

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I have to work, so there's no time to check log files before the
weekend and I couldn't find something related at
https://bugs.archlinux.org/
or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-bin/ . However, maybe
somebody noticed this, too.

I build and installed virtualbox-bin 6.1.30-1 from AUR. The output of
dkms didn't mention something to worry about, but actually no modules
were installed. For testing purpose I downgraded virtualbox-bin to the
previous version that worked before, but now the modules were also
missing.

After downgrading dkms from 3.0.2-1 to 3.0.1-1, dkms build and installed
the virtualbox-bin modules again.

So at the moment I have no idea if dkms is broken or if virtualbox-bin
needs a fix to fit to the latest dkms package.

Regards,
Ralf
