[SOLVED] Slackpkg problems again

Yeah, well that would certainly prevent things from being upgraded! I guess the kernel would still be upgraded, though.

This last upgrade didn't try to update anything period from the changelog. The kernel, nothing was updated so I downloaded and upgraded by hand

I edited my blacklist and it is included as follows:

<Some dumped data...>

When you do this, use the [code]...[/code] tag to delimit your data...

Edit: I mean when posting in the forum, not inside the slackpkg blacklist of course.

All of Eric's KDE packages have the alien tag at the end of them, so the rule (that was already uncommented) at the bottom of the blacklist file should cover them all. You shouldn't need to do a separate rule for each package.

Code:

# This one will blacklist all Alien's packages:
[0-9]+alien

Thank you very much. That simplifies things for sure. I tried it out and it is as you say

Sorry. I thought that you actually reserved code tags for actual code. I don't know how to code (program) so I steered clear of code tags.

Good for me to know

Thanks to some good help from knowledgeable people on this forum I will mark this thread solved. For sure I won't really know for a month or two if slackpkg works as it should. I will wait and see

Thank you everyone for your selfless help and inspiration
