Cannot update with slackpkg+

Hi,

I just reinstalled Slackware64 using this current ISO (https://slackware.uk/people/alien-cu...64-current-iso).
So it's a fresh install, but unexpectedly slackpkg+ is not working. I'm using slackpkg+-1.7.6-noarch-5mt
I set verbose at level 3 on slackpkgplus.conf
If I run slackpkg update gpg, I got this:

Code:
Getting key from https://www.slackware.com/infra/keys/GPG-KEY
                        Slackware Linux Project's GPG key added



==============================================================================
  INFO! Debug informations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.slackware.com/infra/keys/GPG-KEY --> OK
The temp directory /tmp/slackpkg.cjME7y will NOT be removed!
==============================================================================
Then I run slackpkg update, and I got this:

Code:
FATAL! No Slackware GPG-KEY imported.
If you are upgrading from an older release of slackpkg+, all keys must to be reimported.
Please run
  # slackpkg update gpg



==============================================================================
  INFO! Debug informations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The temp directory /tmp/slackpkg.0C5RO6 will NOT be removed!
==============================================================================
How is it possible? I have never had issues with slackpkg update gpg and slackpkg update commands.
How can I solve?
If I disable slackpkg+, slackpkg is running fine.

Thank you in advance,

Scorpion77

I'm sorry I have no answer because I didn't try upgrading my system in the last month, but I think your problem may be related to a recently reported vulnerability with gpg-keys:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ed-4175694561/

which lead to the Mon Jun 7 18:53:49 UTC 2021 change log entry:

Code:
ap/slackpkg-15.0.5-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
       Add "--" option to "command cd" in bash completion file. (akinomyoga)
       shell-completions/slackpkg.bash: add "show-changelog".
       Import bash-completion file from upstream project.
       Added the new-config actions for specific files. (Piter PUNK)
       Harden slackpkg with respect to obtaining GPG key. (CRTS)
I didn't read that thread in its entirety but I think there you could find some hint to fix your problem.

I hope this may give you at least some little help.

Has you uncomment mirror file to choose ftp o http? I've use slackpkg under non current version by no problem.
Can you follow the official steps

My slackpkgplus.conf is the same for years and has always worked.

It's possible the change to the official slackpkg update broke slackpkg+. Hopefully someone else running the latest versions can chime in to see if theirs is working or broken. If it's broken, I imagine it will be patched within a day or two.

if this is the case, someone should better notify the slackpkg+ maintainer, zerouno.

FWIW, here is what I have installed, and working fine.

Code:
ls -l /var/lib/pkgtools/packages | grep slackpkg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7K Jun  8 06:31 slackpkg-15.0.5-noarch-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.5K May 27 04:57 slackpkg+-1.7.6-noarch-5m
I did an update to the June 7th updates and all worked as expected.

I don't easily have the ability to check since I don't run -current. But it seems like camorri has tested it and it works fine with the new slackpkg update, so it seems OP's issue is not tied to the update.

Same problem here : fresh install of current, slackpkg alone works great, the add of slackpkg+ lead to this strange behavior :
- no update of the gpg keys for alienbob and restricted area (uncommented as usual in the slackpkgplus.conf file),
- only update of the slackware gpg key
- but "slackpkg update" ask for the gpg key update...

Thanks for your advices

You can try a different mirror in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf. My ISP doesn't particularly like http://bear.alienbase.nl for some reason.

For -current64 you could use (for example):

MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://slackware.uk/people/alien/sbrepos/current/x86_64/

Thank you, but that doesn't work : even if the only mirror activated in slackpkg+ is the one for updating slackpkg+ itself, the behaviour I described is observed.

what are the results for the following:

Code:
find /etc -iname *.new
I'm thinking you may possibly have a badly out of date /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf or slackpkg.conf

I think the issue lies with get and import GPG keys. If your keys are up-to-date, no issue. But with a fresh Slackware-current install, as soon as you install slackpkgplus and declare additionnal mirrors (e.g. alienbob, etc ...), slackpkgplus is unable to grab the new GPG keys.

I'm not 100% sure, but I noticed that slackpkg-15.0.5-noarch-1 defines new functions named get_gpg_key and import_gpg_key which are not overrided in /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh

Yep, slackpkg+ needs an upgrade due to the new gpg routines in slackpkg. As the OP reported, slackpkg update gpg works without slackpkg+. The output below is with the 'CHECKGPG=off' setting in slackpkg.conf:

Even ignoring the gpg warnings and continuing to download the 3rd party mirror files does no good. The net effect is the same. The 3rd party mirror files will be ignored by slackpkg & slackpkg+.

Always fun when upstream changes affect downstream work. I run into different downstream issues with autoslackpkg too. I'm waiting for slackpkg & slackpkg+ to settle down for 15.0 before releasing a new autoslackpkg. In the meantime lots of refactoring is taking place!

Yep, it's broke.

slackpkg - version 15.0.5 / slackpkg+ 1.7.6

Made a back up of /var/lib/slackpkg, then deleted it. Here is what happens:
Code:
slackpkg update gpg

You have selected a mirror for Slackware -current in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors,
but Slackware version 14.2+ appears to be installed.

Slackware -current is the development (i.e. unstable) tree.

Is this really what you want?

To confirm your choice, press Y, else press N. Then, press Enter: y

Slackpkg will not show this warning again unless you remove the
//var/lib/slackpkg/current file.

slackpkg update

FATAL! No Slackware GPG-KEY imported.
Please run
  # slackpkg update gpg
When you run slackpkg update gpg, you will get this every time.
