Slackpkg+ and restricted packages

marnold · 11-10-2013, 07:42 PM

I've been trying to convince Slackpkg+ to give priority to the restricted version of vlc, but whenever I do a search, only the alienbob one shows up. Here are the appropriate parts of my slackpkgplus.conf:

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:vlc )

. . .

REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus restricted alienbob slacky )

# Slackware 14.1 - x86_64
MIRRORPLUS['multilib']=http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/14.1/
MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['restricted']=http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/restricted_sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['slacky']=http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware64-14.1/

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. The result of search is fine because vlc only exist in the repository "restricted".

The repository "slacky" has not yet compiled packages for version 14.1. You must add the repository "slackel" and try again.

Given that repository "restricted" is declared before "alienbob" in REPOPLUS, all packages from "restricted" have precedence over those in "alienbob", so you don't need to declare "restricted:vlc" in PKGS_PRIORITY.

Anyway, with your configuration, 'slackpkg search vlc' is working well here :

Code:

$ slackpkg search vlc

DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "vlc".

[ Status           ] [ Repository               ] [ Package                                  ]
  uninstalled          restricted                   npapi-vlc-20130818-x86_64-1alien          
  uninstalled          restricted                   vlc-2.1.0-x86_64-1alien                   
  uninstalled          alienbob                     npapi-vlc-20130818-x86_64-1alien          
  uninstalled          alienbob                     vlc-2.1.0-x86_64-1alien                   

You can search specific files using "slackpkg file-search file".

What is the output of "slackpkg search vlc" on your side ?

Try to run "slackpkg update" then 'slackpkg search vlc' to see if that solves the problem.

If this does not work, post the output of the command below :

Code:

$ grep -E "(restricted vlc )|(alienbob vlc )" /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist

I did "slackpkg update then "slackpkg search vlc" and this is what I get:

Code:

[ Status           ] [ Repository               ] [ Package                                  ]
  uninstalled          alienbob                     npapi-vlc-20130818-x86_64-1alien          
   installed           alienbob                     vlc-2.1.0-x86_64-1alien

I looked through the information that "slackpkg update" spits out and it is finding the manifest for the restricted repository. I downloaded the MANIFEST.bz2 that it says it's downloading and the restricted vlc is in there.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, so something is wrong when you run "slackpkg update". I suggest you to post all the output of "slackpkg update".

Here 'tis. The Slacky one is failing because they don't have a 14.1 repo set up just yet. I ran "slackpkg update gpg" just to make sure everything was OK there first.

Hello,

Your issue seems to be related to the slacky repository which does not work. You have two solutions :

1. disable the slacky repository in your slackpkgplus.conf (remove "slacky" in REPOPLUS and comment out the line "MIRRORPLUS['slacky']=...") then run :
Code:
$ slackpkg update
2. run the command below :
Code:
$ slackpkg -checkgpg=off update

Yep! That did it. Evidently I found a bug in slackpkg+. Thanks for your help. I'll have to look into someone to report this to.
