[SOLVED] slackpkg trying to downgrade my kde and other files I think

Quicken2k · 07-02-2014, 09:39 AM

I use kde 4.12.5 here and when I run the following I notice it's trying to place 4.10 back in. Why?

commands I run:

Code:

# slackpkg update gpg

Code:

# slackpkg update

Code:

# slackpkg install-new

Code:

# slackpkg upgrade-all

Is there an ignore option in slackpkg?

Hello,

In /etc/slackpkg/blacklist, add :

Code:

[0-9]+alien

-- SeB

Or just use slackpkg+ and add the ktown repo from AlienBob.

I don't know how to add repos. I assumed Slackware has only slackbuilds.org What is slackpkg+? I'll Google it.

Slackpkg+ is an add-on to the official slackpkg tool. Slackpkg+ allows you to use the slackpkg tool to get packages from other Slackware-related repositories, such as AlienBob's repositories. AlienBob, aka Eric Hameleers, wrote an excellent article about slackpkg+ in his blog: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/intr...-repositories/

Hope this helps.

A good explanation here: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/intr...-repositories/
Get it here: http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+/pkg/

I installed a few things from his repo will the above code blacklist them all?

if you installed them with installpkg than there is no problem
it just tells slackpkg to not up/downgrade alien packages with some from the mirror
(you should also blacklist SBo packages)
if you use slackpkg+ than you just need a higher priority on aliens ktown mirror

I think I saw a line commented out about sbopkg as that's how I install most of my packages. How do I get a higher priority?
