I tried to update current 64 but on the install-new I get you need the gpg key

slackpkg update gpg seems to work but I still get that error and cannot find the key where it said it stored it.

Any ideas ?

Can you post the output of

I think I goofed somewhere.

This is on my test box so I am redoing it now.

This is no doubt related to multilib.

I am marking this one as solved

Well - I've just built a brand new laptop and I'm getting the exact same thing. And the output is :


root@marklap:/etc/slackpkg# ls /var/log/packages/ | grep glibc
glibc-2.30-x86_64-1
glibc-i18n-2.30-x86_64-1
glibc-profile-2.30-x86_64-1
glibc-solibs-2.30-x86_64-1
glibc-zoneinfo-2019c-noarch-1
root@marklap:/etc/slackpkg#

And I've been getting the same gpg error. Even after trying to get the gpg keys (and it reporting success)

root@marklap:/etc/slackpkg# slackpkg check-updates

Searching for updates... No news is good news

In the absence of a better answer you can try the following -

- a different mirror
- a reboot

I am not sure that this is applicable but in my case it was multilib. I just reinstalled multilib from the alien bob's repo and then everything worked.

This wasn't with slackpkg anyway - this is definitely slackpkg+

It would have been an issue with either one, but I have largely stopped reading threads about slackpkg issues because most of them are actually occurring with slackpkg+.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that slackpkg+ is buggy or garbage or anything of that sort; I just wish that posters would be explicitly clear about which one they're using so that I don't have to waste time reading about a problem that I can't solve. If there's an issue that's common to both, I have confidence that the slackpkg+ maintainer will recognize that and alert me.

Yes - you are right - it is slackpkg PLUS. It is very useful, I haven't managed to get around my issues - but I was able to install a ton of stuff from AlienBob via it, using direct install of named packages. It just seems to balk on the reposiotry "update"
