[SOLVED] slackpkg update fails gpg check; How do I fix it?

maschelsea · 06-01-2017, 10:31 AM

Every time I try to do anything with slackpkg, it tells me to run 'slackpkg update gpg'. When I do that it gives me the same message. Over and over again. My mozilla-thunderbird was gone after I rebooted today, and I want to get it back. But every time I try, it tells me to update gpg. Here's the output from the slackpkg update command:

Code:

How should I resolve this issue?

Hello,

You can try to select another mirror, then run 'slackpkg update gpg && slackpkg update' again.

Thank you for your help, phenixia2003. My problem was actually caused by gpg. I noticed as I was working through the mirror list for my country, they all returned gpg errors. So I checked gpg --version. This returned an error, that libreadline.so.7 could not be found. I recently had some trouble caused by mixing slackware64-14.2 with slackware64-current. I guess I'm still doing repairs to get my system to pure slackware64-14.2. But I went to my preferred mirror in my web browser and manually downloaded gnupg, and after that my slackpkg update command worked just fine.

A quick fix to be certain you have only 14.2 OR -current installed is to use slackpkg. Change /etc/slackpkg/mirrors to the Slackware release you wish to run. Then run:

Code:

slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg install slackware64

Then you need to clean out stray packages:

Code:

slackpkg clean-system

This probably will only work if most of your system is Slackware 14.2. Downgrading -current to 14.2 may cause issues, and you are probably better off reinstalling Slackware.

Be sure you blacklist any SlackBuilds you installed from SlackBuilds.org, or possibly from a 3rd party binary repository. Honestly though, you probably should just rebuild/reinstall all your third party software from scratch to avoid inconsistencies in dependencies.
