[SOLVED] Error in atk slackpkg md5

Hi,

Since some updates ago, there's always this message after an `slackpkg upgrade-all` to my current Slackware 64:

Code:

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

at-spi2-atk-2.16.0-x86_64-1.txz:	md5sum
at-spi2-atk-2.16.0-x86_64-1.txz:	md5sum
at-spi2-atk-2.16.0-x86_64-1.txz:	md5sum

In /var/adm/packages, there's:

Code:

# ll /var/adm/packages/at-spi2-atk-2.16.0-86_64-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1260 Set  1 23:59 /var/adm/packages/at-spi2-atk-2.16.0-x86_64-1

So, the package seems to be installed, but slackpkg always retrieve an error. What should I do?

Sounds like you did not upgrade to slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-14 where that issue was fixed.

That did it, thanks. But I still don't know how to be alert for next time. Shouldn't `slackpkg upgrade-all` propose an update to itself?

You are using slackware-current, our development version. Because of that choice, we expect that you keep an eye on the Slackware-current ChangeLog.txt and at least read the latest news there before running slackpkg or using other means to update your slackware-current.
The "slackpkg upgrade-all" command should have shown you that an update for slackpkg was available. After upgrading slackpkg, it will force you to run "slackpkg update" again because it will not perform a new upgrade-all otherwise.
No idea why the newer slackpkg was not visible to you - it will be up to you to inspect your computer's configuration.
