Hello, I upgraded my desktop about 10 minutes ago, and it looks like virtualbox-host-dkms gained a new dependency: linux-headers.
On this desktop, I have only the linux-lts kernel and its accompanying linux-lts-headers installed, so why is linux-headers necessary? In the pacman -Syu output, it looks like dkms gives up when trying to build modules for the linux (4.4) kernel. However, it still builds the modules for linux-lts. Why does virtualbox-host-dkms have a hard dependency on linux-headers? --Kyle [2016-03-13 10:50] [ALPM] running '70-dkms-install.hook'...
