'slackpkg update' ends in segmentation fault
Slackware 13.37.0 32bit, no fancy addons, default kernel.
The recent big update went fine, and out of curiosity I ran 'slackpkg update' today which seemed to go pretty far but returned me to the prompt with: Code:
Formatting lists to slackpkg style... I guess CHECKSUMS.md5 or core-functions.sh are just corrupt somehow? Any and all advice welcome! |
i'm curious, did you change your repository to -Current?
|
Did not change repo to -current. Has been 13.37 since the system was installed. I only changed it to another mirror (a 13.37 mirror) to test it since this problem cropped up.

OK,
I "fixed" this problem by copying the /usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh file from a different system also running 13.37. The strange thing is, running diff on the files came up empty... I guess I'll just chalk this up to bitrot and move on. Frustrating to not know what the actual problem was. |
