[SOLVED] Problems with 14.2 Pkgtool "Choose slackware install scripts to run again"

linus72 · 04-09-2019, 08:06 PM

OK everything was working great in my slackware 14.2 install until to day I went to rerun slackware install scripts and noticed that its broke.

Instead of a list of things to check off I get a single unnamed entry and nothing else.
I reinstalled mkfontdir, mkfontcache and they now show up as my only 2 options- Ive reinstalled sysvinit, and alot of other things including slackpkg to no avail.

should I reinstall etc package?

Ive never encountered this problem before- this is my clean user system, no experiments, etc.
Thanks

More information would likely help.

When you say "broke," what precisely do you mean? What didn't work that should have worked (or what happened that shouldn't have happened)?

What precisely were the install scripts that you wished to re-run, and why (I am assuming that something happened to cause you to want to re-run those scripts)?

frankbell see pic
I was just rerunning it since I have alot of it commented out in rc.M
also I reinstalled pkgtool, no dice.

Update forget about it...I went with the Brute Force option

Code:

slackpkg reinstall slackware64

Which reinstalled everything lol and it's fixed
