[SOLVED] sbopkg: b0rked by bash upgrade in -current?

chexmix · 03-03-2010, 09:07 PM

Good evening all -

I recently upgraded my -current box, and now when I try to run sbopkg I get the exact error described in the following thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ssage.-751593/

The error fwiw is as follows:

root@catbutt:~# sbopkg
ERROR
sbopkg: Invalid repository descriptor

Line
SBo 13.0 "SBo repository for Slackware 13.0" _SBo rsync slackbuilds.org::slackbuilds/13.0 GPG
of
/etc/sbopkg/repos.d/40-sbo.repo
specifies an unknown fetching tool (rsync).

... seems likely given the discussion in that previous thread that the bash upgrade (to 4.1.002) in the recent -current onslaught is responsible?

Thanks,

Glenn

This issue should be fixed in SVN as of last October (http://code.google.com/p/sbopkg/issues/detail?id=32). If you can pull from SVN and test, I would greatly appreciate it. If you still have issues, please post a bug report in the sbopkg Issue Tracker at the Google Code site. Thanks.

Edit: this fix went in to sbopkg 0.31.0. Is that the version of sbopkg you are using? If not, can you please upgrade to 0.31.0 and try again?

I just did the current upgrade an hour or so ago and had sbopkg look for updates, I have't tried to build any packages but everything looks like it's a go. I have sbopkg 0.31 installed. I DID NOT overwrite any .conf files but saved the new ones as .new.

Upgrading sbopkg to 0.31.0 solved this issue for me.

OK, that must be it - I am using 0.30.1 on this box. Sorry for the alarm. I will install 0.31.0 when I get a chance ... maybe late tonight.

Someone else confirmed in IRC that 0.31.0 works fine on -current.

@chexmix, assuming this works for you, can you please edit the title of this thread and add [SOLVED] or something so folks browsing the list of threads will know the issue has been addressed? thanks.

Done. I managed to install 0.31.0 remotely and it works like a charm - just like it always has!

Again, apologies for the premature post.
