Hace mucho que utilizo computadoras virtualizadas con Virtualbox. Al paso de los años es normal que surjan algunas complicaciones con las actualizaciones.
Más o menos el proceso es el siguiente. Hay una nueva versión de Virtualbox en Manjaro y al arrancar la computadora me aparece un mensajito que dice que hay una nueva versión de Guest Additions y que se recomienda actualizarse.
Durante mucho tiempo lo hice y a otra cosa, pero esta vez me arrojó un problema durante la instalación.
Este es el registro de la instalación:

Probablemente el problema es que estoy usando un Windows 7 de 32 bits, pero no estoy seguro.
Instalar una versión anterior de Guest Additions
Consulté en varios foros y la recomendación era la misma. Descargar una versión anterior. Al momento de escribir este artículo tengo instalada VirtualBox Versión 6.1.32 r149290 y la última versión de Guest Additions que me funcionó fue la versión 6.1.26
Afortunadamente Virtualbox almacena todas las versiones de sus productos en https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ y descargar el archivo es muy sencillo.
Lo que hice fue desinstalar la versión que quedó de Guest Additions en la computadora virtualizada, reiniciar, instalar la versión anterior y volver a reiniciar.
Dejo esto como asunto pendiente con una solución parcial. Los mantendré informados.
