converting to slackware current slack upgrade-all error?

this is my second install of Slack to current, the first time I just dismissed this and went into run it again mode and it trued out okay, as in I didn't notice any operating mishaps as a result of it. now that I "moved" slack to my sdd, via installing it again and converting to current I see this happening again, as figured I might / should post about it to bring it to the attention of someone else.


on the second run of upgrading as this is what slack to current is doing now, having to run it twice due to upgrading a package, which that part is no big deal, here it fails

I cannot say this is exactly the same package that failed and I re ran skackpkg to over come it. only that it did it again. I do remember seeing something like that bold part with the screw ball looking fonts.

it gets to here and hangs. I am not sure what else to put in there other than this message and what I did to get there.

I did this and it gave me this

the first time I just skackpkg update again then went to the steps for upgrading.
HAHA now doing this

slackpkg update

still getting this, I am going to remove said fonts packages, which might screw me up I do not know. its a dup so maybe not.

You have 2 packages installed in /var/log/packages, remove oldes one with rm /var/log/packages/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi-1.0.3-noarch-1 and problem solved.

Usual this is happened when you do for example: slackpkg install-new and slackpkg install font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi-1.0.3-noarch-1 and then you do from console: installpkg font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi-1.0.3-noarch-3

or somehow on upgrade, upgrade did not remove old file font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi-1.0.3-noarch-1

yes I did that part, as I do believe the first part is in no way related to the second part being the dup fonts packages. being this

I probably shouldn't have added that font thing, it was just happening at the time of this mozilla thing. this hangs and I have to restart it over, perhaps that is why I ended up with dups fronts this time due to rerunning update / then upgrade-all

Is there still an append= in your bootloader that's disabling UTF-8? That should be gone for -current.

I'm using manjaro's grub2 for booting. running " cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep append ' returns nothing.
