[SOLVED] Virtualbox, just for info

I've installed virtualbox-guest-dkms and it work perfectly. but since 2 or 3 weeks pacman try to replace it with virtualbox-guest-utils or virtualbox-guest-utils-nox. I put both in the IgnorePkg in pacman.conf so, no problem. This post is just to advice and to understand, if somebody know the answer, why it try to replace a package with a different one. Is strange.

This is the message:

@alium, thank you for the link! This is the answer at my question.
I started to use the dkms version cause where compiled for both the LTS and update version of the kernel, while before was mandatory to decide for one of the version.

Now, with this new version, it work with both the kernel version?

For me it is solve, where can I specify that it is solved?

virtualbox works very fine with my linux-zen kernel, it should works with any kernel (if you install -dkms).
