"No way to prevent this" says only distro where this regularly happens

News from this year:

  • virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention (package won't install)
  • Active AUR malicious packages incident (the AUR is locked)
  • Arch Linux 2026 Leader Election Results
  • Breaking changes for all users of varnish, which is renamed to vinyl-cache (it's a proxy, only affects servers)
  • kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention (dhcp server, affects routers)
  • iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)

Repost.

Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don't remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn't count.

If you're running Virtualbox on Arch you deserve everything you get.
