Indeed. That could be an issue if Pat removes something like aaa_base, bash, tar, util-linux...

But if that ever happens, I guess that we will have something to read about that in the ChangeLog for -current.

So, my best advice @all is: never ever run slackpkg in -current without first having read the ChangeLog.

Thanks AGAIN orbea.

I was able to put your bash function to work this morning after today's SAMBA update on Slackware64 14.2 + MultiLib.

-- kjh

After the updates and rerunning Alien Bob's massconvert.sh script and `upgradepkg samba-compat32-4.4.16-x86_64-3_slack14.2compat32` :

Code:

# find-stale-pids      # I added a bash-wrapper in my $PATH around your stale_pids function :)

2608

# find-stale-pids -v   # what open file is stale ?

2608 /usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.3.8 (deleted)
2765 /usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.3.8 (deleted)
2769 /usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.3.8 (deleted)
3244 /usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.3.8 (deleted)
4616 /usr/lib64/libtdb.so.1.3.8 (deleted)

I do not run SAMBA on my Laptop ... what process has libtdb open ?

Code:

# ps -ef |grep  -E '(^UID|[2]608)'

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
konrad    2608     1  0 Mar12 ?        00:00:05 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]

So I need to exit KDE ... NICE !!!

Go read the question again, because you didn't understand it.
