Description:
Previously qt was an optional dependency of virtualbox, but now, starting with 5.1.2-1 it is required and wants to install a lots of packages on a headless system.

Additional info:
- in 5.0.* qt4 was an optional dependency
- in 5.1.0-1 it was replaced by qt5-x11extras [0]
- starting with 5.1.2-1 qt55-base added, and both qt5-base and qt5-x11extras are depends instead of optdepends
- upgraded to 5.1.2-3 using --assume-installed=qt5-base,qt5-x11extras and the headless functionality is working perfectly fine

Steps to reproduce:
sudo pacman -S virtualbox
