    66With Arch (and in Corax's case), the answer is "yes" because with Arch you have no choice.  Y'all's ISO -- in particular the installer -- has no compile branch that recognizes Arch as a legitimate distribution.  If we examine the PKGBUILD file at https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/virtualbox, line 52 makes it clear that they build their package from the tar.bz file grabbed from your server at http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.22/VirtualBox-5.0.22.tar.bz2 and then patch the installer to get it recognized.

    1010The problem is almost definitely a guest-utils code change that occurred between the 5.0.16 and 5.0.18 guest-utils ISO, which affects OSX hosts, and which has been carried forward ever since to both subsequent guest-utils versions and the packages that are generated from it.
