[SOLVED] Fatal error in <slackpkg uppdate-all>

Hi there!

I am not aware of anything I may have done to cause this error, but I know that when my hand touches the metallic surface around the touch-pad, crazy things may happen.

Code:

root@lifebook1:~# slackpkg upgrade-all

FATAL! There is some problem in packages database
       or maybe an installation or upgrade in progress:

   kernel-firmware-20231120_9552083-noarch-1-upgraded-2024-02-03,14:50:36

       If you continue you may corrupt packages database.
       Check or retry later

I have already decided to cover that area with some plastic, but I wonder if there might be a way to recover my database.

Try this:

Code:

removepkg kernel-firmware-20231120_9552083-noarch-1-upgraded-2024-02-03,14:50:36

I tried

Code:

removepkg kernel-firmware-20231120_9552083-noarch-1-upgraded-2024-02-03,14:50:36

but the error persisted. So I re-installed. At my level sometimes this is simpler and I still get lots of practice configuring and re-installing pkgs.

Markin as Solved.
