[SOLVED] Slackpkg(plus) failing on GPG errors.

arfon · 03-11-2024, 06:43 AM

I updated a few days ago and no issues. I tried to update this morning and am getting:

Code:

/usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh: line 981: /usr/bin/gpg: cannot execute: required file not found

slackpkg update gpg fails...

I reinstalled gnupg1 and gnupg2 and it's still failing.

Any ideas?

try slackpkg update gpg

edit: Ups sorry, I saw you tried it, but I dont think I have slackpkplus.sh in that dir, what is that file ? Are you on 15.0 or current ?

Current.

Code:

    if [ $(basename $1) = "GPG-KEY" ];then
      mkdir -p ${WORKDIR}/gpg
      rm -f ${WORKDIR}/gpg/* 2>/dev/null
      gpg $2

Line 981: gpg $2

The command is "slackpkg update gpg" so $2 should be "gpg".

Code:

]$ which gpg
/usr/bin/gpg

I've disabled GPG check in both slackpkg.conf and slackpkgplus.conf and it still fails.

Make sure your gnupg2 is up to date

marav for the win!

It looks like I installed gnupg2 for 15 and not for current (or maybe I installed the 32b vs the 64b) but, whatever. I downloaded the gunpg2 for curent64 and installed it and removed gnupg1 and it cleared up the issue.

slackpkg upgrade should have done this but, it didn't.

So, FYI to anyone having slackpkg/gpg issues, here's what worked for me.

You can keep gnupg v1 installed, as the binary was renamed /usr/bin/gpg1

This is exactly what gnupg and gnupg2 packages do

gnupg

Code:

# Rename the binaries:
for binary in gpg gpgv gpg-zip gpgsplit; do
  mv $PKG/usr/bin/${binary} $PKG/usr/bin/${binary}1
done

gnupg2

Code:

# If there's no /usr/bin/gpg, claim it:
if [ ! -e usr/bin/gpg ]; then
  ln -sf gpg2 usr/bin/gpg
fi

Hmmm, ./configure --program-suffix=1 ?
