[SOLVED] After massive today update system is broken (-current)

igadoter · 12-24-2019, 04:01 AM

Hi, I don't know where to begin. First I was unable to mount pendrive: both thunar and kde complained about polkit. Something terrible happend to KDE - slowly to respond - artifacts on screen when moving windows - I had to kill KDE with ctrl+alt+backspace. After that I saw crowd of complains. Kernel is 5.4.3. Just terrible night nothing is working.

The current -current kernel is 5.4.6

You forgot to install the new "mozjs60" package.

igadoter · 12-24-2019, 08:54 AM

Yeap, just forgot slackpkg install-new. Now everything is ok.

For future reference, it's a good idea to always run install-new/install multilib when doing an update on current.

Undersigned,

One who also learns the hard way.

Kind of related question. I use slackpkg+ for ktown and multilib. During the recent big ktown update (thanks Eric), I did slackpkg install-new, but it didn't find the new Plasma 5 deps that Eric had added. I had to slackpkg install each one that was listed on the blog. Any reason why this would be expected to happen with the ktown repo, or is it more likely a configuration issue on my end?

You may also wish to run: # slackpkg clean-system.

That will find and remove the old version of mozjs60 if you have not removed it yet.

Without using Plasma, I'm guessing it's dependencies-of-dependencies it didn't get. Slackpkg and slackpkg+ don't do dependency checking, so if something changed, you'll need to install it, yourself.

It is mozjs52, not mozjs60.
Another ways are:
# removepkg mozjs52
or
# slackpkg remove mozjs52
as it is marked as ": Removed" in ChangeLog.txt.

Thank you. I realize that of course. That is why I said *the old* version implying the other, older version of the application. That's what slackpkg clean-system will find.

Thanks, I found mozjs52-52.9.0.esr - I removed it. Is this what are you referring to?

You’re welcome! Yes. That’s what I was referring to.

Well no, it doesn't know anything about dependencies, but it should see when something is added in a repo and show it in the install-new list.

same problem here:

Quote:

slackpkg install-new

did not list
md4c, kquickcharts, pulseaudio-qt, kpeoplevcard, elisa

also in the past I did not see
mozjs60 as a new addition

I have two slackware systems (real and VM client) neither was reporting packages listed above

I am glad that I am not the only one with this issue

A suggestion. I always read the slackware-current changelog before I apply updates. There are sometimes additions and helpful hints about system changes.
