[SOLVED] Slackpkg+ issue on current

v8dave · 02-15-2016, 03:15 PM

I'm running Slackware64_current as of 11/02/2016 and I'm getting an error when slackpkg+ is enabled via the on/off variable at th etop of slackpkgplus.conf

Installed versions are :-
Slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-16
Slackpkg+-1.6.1p2-noarch-1mt

when slackpkg+ is enabled I get the following error,

ls: cannot access '*.t[blxg]z': No such file or directory

Everything seems to work OK ?

If it's my setup any hints on where to look for the problem will be gratefully received.

I can't reproduce your problem. Please post the output of

Code:

$ grep -v "^#\|^#" /etc/slackpg{,plus}.conf

and show your changes in these files (compared to original ones).

Thanks for the prompt responce.

Can't find an unmolested slackpkgplus.conf in the package !

I've run the diff between the source and installed files :-

Could be I've got a simple typo......

Your slackpkgplus.conf is inconsistent.
1. If you want a download-only mode, uncomment DOWNLOADONLY option.
2. Keep in REPOPLUS only respective MIRRORPLUS entries.

The ls command returns an error because the directory /home/data1/slackware/packages/ is (certainly) empty.

To prevent this, the lines #1088 and #1143 in slackpkg+ (1.6.1p2) should be changed as below (in bold) :

Code:

1088: ls 2>/dev/null -ld *.t[blxg]z|sort -rn|grep ^-|awk '{print "./SLACKPKGPLUS_'$PREPO'/"$NF}'|awk -f /usr/libexec/slackpkg/pkglist.awk >> ${TMPDIR}/pkglist-pre
1143: ls 2>/dev/null -ld *.t[blxg]z|sort -rn|grep ^-|awk '{print "./SLACKPKGPLUS_'$repository'/"$NF}'|awk -f /usr/libexec/slackpkg/pkglist.awk >> ${TMPDIR}/pkglist-pre

P.S: The corresponding lines in slackpkg+/devel are #1389 and #1456.

Thank you, the edit suggested does stop the error message.
However the directory /home/data1/slackware/packages is not empty from a pedantic point of view, but there are no packages files in the folder or it's sub-folders so it is empty in the context of the search pattern.

Now I've just got to make this thread solved......

yars · 02-16-2016, 02:03 PM

I think it would be good idea, to use find instead of ls.
