In my case, I used mirror: http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.0/.

Your patch failed to detect the 3 patches since release of 13.0 (namely, mozilla-firefox, seamonkey and seamonkey-solibs).

Could the reason be that file PACKAGES.TXT is not updated for a stable release (it's rather patches/PACKAGES.TXT) contrary to -current?
Could you attach the output of "grep seamonkey-solibs /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist"? Thanks!

Hello Grissiom,

I've upgraded the packages yesterday: I removed your patch and then slackpkg correctly showed the 3 packages to upgrade.

Do you still want the result of "grep seamonkey-solibs /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist"?

If so, I'll post it tonight as I'm not at home at the moment

@Grissiom,

Just another feedback: I am using the patched version on -current and that picked up the packages to upgrade.
I have not patched SlackPkg on my 'stable' machine.

Yes, I still want the result of "grep seamonkey-solibs /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist". Could you please also attach the result of "ls -l /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist"? I still could not figure out what triggered the bug...

Thanks for your feedback. I run -current and there is nothing wrong as well But I don't have a 'stable' system installed..

grissiom,

I have replied twice, and both times I got some message about

here, so I refreshed and posted again ... same result. I am too
tired to focus correctly, so I will just post some output and you
can evaluate it and we'll go from there tomorrow:

Finally worked out a patch for this problem. But I have to admit that this patch is "stupid and ugly". So if anyone there have a better idea, please tell me.

The "patch":
please edit your /usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh around line 569 to something like this:
Code:
   568                 ;;
   569                 upgrade-all)
   570                         cut -f2-6 -d\  ${TMPDIR}/tmplist > ${TMPDIR}/lpkg
   571                         cut -f2-6 -d\  ${TMPDIR}/pkglist > ${TMPDIR}/spkg
   572                         grep -E '^patches' ${TMPDIR}/pkglist | cut -f2-6 -d' ' > ${TMPDIR}/ppkg
   573                         # use packages in patches mask anther packages.
   574                         for i in $(cut -f1 -d' ' ${TMPDIR}/ppkg); do
   575                                 sed -i -e "/^$i /d" ${TMPDIR}/spkg
   576                         done
   577                         # bring the patches back
   578                         cat ${TMPDIR}/ppkg >> ${TMPDIR}/spkg
   579                         potential=$(cat ${TMPDIR}/{s,l}pkg | sort | uniq -u | cut -f1 -d\  - | uniq -d )
   580                         #for i in $(cut -f2 -d\  ${TMPDIR}/tmplist); do
   581                         for i in $potential; do
Hope this time all would be Ok

Hello Grissiom,

Thank you for the new patch. I'll test it when the next 13.0 security update occurs.

For the record, here are the data you requested:

Code:
chris@darkstar ~ $ grep seamonkey-solibs /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist
patches seamonkey-solibs 1.1.18 i486 2 seamonkey-solibs-1.1.18-i486-2 ./patches/packages txz
slackware seamonkey-solibs 1.1.17 i486 1 seamonkey-solibs-1.1.17-i486-1 ./slackware/l txz
chris@darkstar ~ $ ls -l /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 86135 2009-09-14 20:44 /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist

Ok. Thank you for testing my patch ;-)

Hello Grissiom,

I tested your latest patch on Slackware 13.0 with the security update of 19th September. It works

Thanks again.

I hope it somehow will make it into a future version of slackpkg.
