Since uggrading from VBox 6.0.5 to 6.0.8, one of my virtual Arch machines tells me "unable to lock database" when I run the "sudo pacman -Syu" command.
The host is Ubuntu 16.04

note: I emptied the pacman cache and it upgraded with the panman -Syu command

Re: [Solved] unable to upgrade Arch virtual machine
Just because an OS/program that runs in the context of VirtualBox has a problem, it doesn't make it a VirtualBox problem necessarily. You're having an issue that has most probably nothing to do with VirtualBox, so my suggestion would be to treat it as such, as a native problem with the OS or the application of the guest.
