Problems removing multilib packages.
As the title says, I am having problems removing multi-lib. This is 13.37 stable 64 bit system.
I had multi-lib installed, and working correctly. I did a system update with slackpkg. I ran the command 'slackpkg clean-system' after update, install-new, and upgrade-all. I though I had blacklisted the correct packages to prevent multi-lib from being removed. I did not, pressed enter, and watched the system remove a lot of multi-lib stuff. I know I messed it up, still learning package management. O.K. I have looked over my system, and the only package I can find that is 32 bit that I currently need ( or wanted ) was Google Earth. As far as I can tell, it is still only available as a 32 bit package. I use it much less these days, and I have a copy on XP that I run in V-box. So, I decided to remove multi-lib, at least in the short term. I ran this command successfully. 'multilibpkg --uninstall @WorldWide-13.37'. I had to re-install multilibpkg, it must have been one of the things removed by my mistake. The problem. I ran the command 'compat32pkg --remove all' ( as root ) and it fails. The output. Code:
root@duelie:/home/cliff/multilib/13.37# compat32pkg --remove all I have been through the doc, on Aliens site, Sourceforge, etc. I'm confused at this point. How do I reinstall the missing stuff, so I can remove the whole 32 bit layer? I think this package is what is missing - Quote:

Found and installed compat32-tools-2.1-noarch-11alien.tgz.
Ran the command 'compat32pkg --remove all' with the following result. Quote:

Examine the output of
Code:
ls /var/log/packages | grep compat32 Code:
ls /var/log/packages | grep multilib EDIT: Actually the multilib packages are gcc and glibc so you should use upgradepkg to replace them with the stock Slackware packages. |
Hello,

processed 13 packages. There should be more than 100, but this may be related to the "slackpkg clean-system" you've done. Can you post the content of /var/log/compat32pkg.log and /var/log/multilibpkg.log ? thanks -- SeB |
Thank-you both for your interest.
drumz, the two ls commands; Code:
ls /var/log/packages | grep multilib phenixia2003, As requested, I have tried to upload the two logs. As I remember, I thought there should be many more compat32 packages. 13 doesn't seem to be enough. Only other comment I have right now is the system seems stable. I have not found any other problems. I did some pocking around and found I still have the directories, Quote:

"slackpkg clean-system" before. But as this could be a bug in compat32pkg, I need more information. In your first post, you said : Quote:

My plan is to leave the system alone, ( run it ) for a week or so, just to make sure there are no hidden problems. Then I will run

I'm attaching these files : Quote:

Include.pat.
Code:
cat include.pat Code:
cat exclude.pat I gzip'ed the file. It is less than the 256k limit now. I give up. I can not upload this file, even though its gziped, less than 256k. Is there some other way to get the file on this thread? I renamed it, seems you can not upload a file ending in .gz. |
Hello,
I checked the files you have sent and I didn't find anything wrong. Quote:
ran "compat32pkg --remove all". Therefore, there's definitely no problem with "compat32pkg --remove". Why "slackpkg clean-system" has left these packages ? I don't know, and I guess this will remain a mystery. -- SeB |
Thank-you for your help. I'm going to mark this thread solved.
