Thanks Peter for the hint!

The package info suggests that is was not rebuild recently:

$ pkg info virtualbox
             Name: system/virtualbox
          Summary: VirtualBox - general-purpose full virtualizer
         Category: System/Virtualization
            State: Installed
        Publisher: openindiana.org
          Version: 6.1.22
           Branch: 2020.0.1.0
   Packaging Date: June  5, 2021 at 12:23:48 PM
Last Install Time: January 26, 2021 at 09:01:31 PM
 Last Update Time: July  5, 2021 at 10:10:15 AM
             Size: 124.44 MB
             FMRI:
pkg://openindiana.org/system/virtualbox@6.1.22-2020.0.1.0:20210605T122348Z


so a trigger on the build server should help on this.

i believe that there are more consumers that need to get a rebuild..
