[SOLVED] Slackpkg returning slackware repository invalid gpg error

linux91 · 04-30-2021, 10:27 AM

The gpg errors appear right after the upgrade of the libusbx package:

And reinstall libusb, too.

It's this:

Code:

+--------------------------+
Mon Feb  8 05:13:26 UTC 2021
a/aaa_elflibs-15.0-x86_64-30.txz:  Removed.
  Renamed to aaa_libraries.
...
a/aaa_libraries-15.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.
  This package has been renamed from aaa_elflibs to insure that it will come
  after aaa_glibc-solibs when upgraded in alphabetical order.

Ah, I remember the Package list entry, but I didn't register the clean-system step.

Are you sure you want Alien's libusbx from year 2013 when slackware has a recent libusb?

Info by Alien:

Code:

libusbx: libusbx (USB library)
libusbx:
libusbx: This is libusbx, a library which allows userspace application access
libusbx: to USB devices.  It is used to connect to USB devices like scanners
libusbx: and printers.
libusbx: Libusbx is a fork of libusb. Only install one of the two!

The expectation is the newer versions incorporate the important older version stuff with fixes and upgraded parts. The older programs on the system are not mission critical but nice to have, ex. hp48 (not for this lib though).

So, I would remove Alien's libusbx. And aaa_elflibs. And reinstall aaa_libraries and libusb.

The method is sloppy, I will correct the system as you've suggested though.

Alien's libusbx-1.0.17_rc1-x86_64-1alien.txz contains libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 which needs libudev.so.0 of udev. The current libusb-1.0.24-x86_64-4 and aaa_libraries-15.0-x86_64-6 contain libusb-1.0.so.0.3.0 which needs libudev.so.1 of eudev.

This will take me some time, including the blacklistings. I'll post the results when done.

Petri Kaukasoina · 04-30-2021, 11:08 AM

By the way, command 'ldconfig' should fix the link to the right libusb library which Alien's package linked to the old version. So, after ldconfig, gpg etc should work again...

Petri Kaukasoina · 04-30-2021, 11:18 AM

Are you installing ALL the packages Alien has in his repository? I don't think it's meant to be used like that.

Removed:
libusbx-1.0.17_rc1-x86_64-1alien.txz

libudev.so.0 -> libudev.so.1.6.3

blacklisted:
libusbx.*

completed the upgrades.

ran 'slackpkg clean-system'

login successful
Seems all is good again.

Not all packages, but a large number of them. The trip-up was not remembering the system upgrade stuff, or reading the package txt files prior to selecting them.
I have the list of packages installed, now begins the process of validating each install.
Thanks for your help.
