[SOLVED] Cannot remove the installed packages

mpregos · 12-11-2018, 03:17 PM

Hi guys

i didn't want to create new post, and keeping clean the forum, but i have pretty much the same problem.
i install slack 14.2 in a system with Crypt-LVM.
Afterwards, i upgrade to current, utilizing the 'Install slackware from hdd' method.
so far everything is working like a charm

The problem is that i cannot remove the installed packages and the output of removepkg command is as follow:

Quote:

bash-4.4# removepkg blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2
No such package: blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2. Can't remove.

Can you help to figure out what is going on here with the packages

Next time, DO create a new thread for your own unrelated problem.
For now (assuming that this package is actually installed), try either of these two:

Code:

removepkg /var/log/packages/blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2

or

Code:

removepkg blueman

Ok Bob, message received!!!

Now, about my problem, both commands not working

Quote:

bash-4.4# removepkg blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2
No such package: blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2. Can't remove.

bash-4.4# removepkg blueman
No such package: blueman. Can't remove

You missed part of the command with the location.

Code:

removepkg /var/log/packages/blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2

mpregos · 12-11-2018, 05:22 PM

/var/log/packages

I don't know. what is wrong with the packages...i cannot understand!

bassmadrigal · 12-11-2018, 05:35 PM

I would probably start a new thread then so we can properly diagnose your problem and see if we can figure out what's wrong.

willysr · 12-11-2018, 05:39 PM

in -current, the package database is moved to /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/

Alien Bob · 12-12-2018, 02:19 AM

I've requested that the moderators cut this discussion out of the thread and move it into a new one.

Let's try this so that we know exactly why removepkg is bailing out:

Code:

bash -x /sbin/removepkg blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2

Please paste the output of the following command.

Code:

stat /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/blueman-2.0.6-x86_64-2

Strange, you have the file and you have read permissions...

mpregos · 12-12-2018, 04:19 PM

yes,a lot actually
i change the permission but nothing happened

maybe it has to do with the CPRYPT + LVM partition that i choose to use/install slackware.
sharing the scenario, maybe could be helpfull:
- Install 14.2 from dvd
- follow this guide to install the current iso from here
- make initrd for kernel 4.19.2 and put it to /boot
- reboot

I would start adding echo commands to the script in an effort to debug it, this could take some trial and error.
