One or more errors occurred while slackpkg was running

Bart_ · 02-14-2014, 01:38 PM

I just upgraded Slackware64 14.1 with "curl" and "NTP" packages (today security advisories) through slackpkg. After the installation I get:

Code:

Searching for NEW configuration files

Some packages had new configuration files installed.
You have four choices:

        (K)eep the old files and consider .new files later

        (O)verwrite all old files with the new ones. The
           old files will be stored with the suffix .orig

        (R)emove all .new files

        (P)rompt K, O, R selection for every single file

What do you want (K/O/R/P)?
O

That's happened to you?

Refetch it.

I don't understand what could have created the warning.

Are you using slackpkgplus?

I had a similar error that went away after upgrading to the latest version.

You might also try

Code:

slackpkg update gpg

to see if that fixes the problem.

An incomplete download

Not sure that the download was incomplete, as it looks as if the package installed correctly. I know that when this happened to me the packages had upgraded correctly, but I'm sure that this wouldn't be possible with an incomplete download.

Then perhaps the file has been altered. Either way I wouldn't trust it and would re-download it, checking the md5sum and sig

samac · 02-15-2014, 04:58 PM

Is it just the md5sum of the .txz.asc file that was incorrect? If so would this cause a problem?

Without a correct .asc how can you verify the package is what it claims to be. Something is up. I'd just re-download and verify everything manually to be sure.

Yes, I have slackpkg+.

Before upgrading always run:

Code:

slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all

but the problem occurred anyway. Now I uninstalled the package and I downloaded it manually.
