[SOLVED] slackpkg upgrade-all problem

heres problem im dealing with one day ago:

Code:

slackpkg upgrade-all

Checking local integrity... DONE
You have a broken /var/log/packages - with two versions of the same package.
The list of packages duplicated in your machine are shown below, but don't
worry about this list - when you select your action, slackpkg will show a
better list:


You can (B)lacklist, (R)emove, or (I)gnore these packages.
Select your action (B/R/I): r

wc: /tmp/slackpkg.wU5kCg/dialog.tmp: No such file or directory
/usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/dialog-functions.sh: line 45: [: -ge: unary operator expected
cat: /tmp/slackpkg.wU5kCg/dialog.tmp: No such file or directory

























==============================================================================
WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!
==============================================================================
One or more errors occurred while slackpkg was running:

DIALOG ERROR:
-------------

Error: Expected at least 7 tokens for --checklist, have 4.
Use --help to list options.


-------------
If you want to continue using slackpkg, disable the DIALOG option in
/etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf and try again.

Help us to make slackpkg a better tool - report bugs to the slackpkg
developers

==============================================================================

where the problem might be?

is there also a way to find wich packages are duplicated and uninstall them so it eliminates error without pkgtool like?

thanks

Look in /var/log/packages for a file called dialog-1.1_20080819-i486-2, slackpkg requires this program to show you the results graphically.

Find the package that is duplicated in /var/log/packages then remove that package with removepkg and then re-install it with installpkg.

Where the problem is I do not know. Perhaps you need to reinstall slackpkg.

At the command line, do:
'for PKG in /var/log/packages/* ; do echo ${PKG%-*-*-*} >> /tmp/list.txt; done'
'uniq -d /tmp/list.txt'
This should show the duplicate names that slackpkg is finding.
Then 'ls /var/log/packages | grep [the_duplicate_name]' will show the actual packages.
You can then use 'removepkg' to remove the unwanted duplicate.

Edit - samac was quicker and the lack of the dialog package makes sense

Edit2 - A better way to find the duplicate names avoiding the temporary file.
(for PKG in /var/log/packages/* ; do echo ${PKG%-*-*-*} ; done) | uniq -d

No, I think it's not the dialog problem because slackpkg didn't call dialog yet

I suspect the problem lays in the sanity_check function in line 1140 of /usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh. (BTW, what version of slackware and slackpkg are you using?) If DOUBLEFILES is junk, it will have such behavior. Could please let me know what pkg are duplicated? Thanks a lot!

hi guys! thanks for fast response. today i found many replies but fixed it before. thanks for suggestions. i made sure that i have installed lasted xz, tar, glibc-solibs then i went backward way by doing slackpkg clean-system slackpkg-install-new slackpkg upgrade-all and it worked. so i couldnt test your suggestions.
