Slackpkg upgrade-all loop


I ran the command slackpkg upgrade-all as root yesterday night. I upgraded everything that was there.
Here is what was upgraded.
gcc-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-g++-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-gfortran-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-go-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-gnat-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-java-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
gcc-objc-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz
glibc-2.17-x86_64-7.txz
glibc-i18n-2.17-x86_64-7.txz
glibc-profile-2.17-x86_64-7.txz
glibc-solibs-2.17-x86_64-7.txz
glibc-zoneinfo-2013d-noarch-7.txz
seamonkey-solibs-2.26-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz


Now, I went to run steam and received an error which was resolved in this thread.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...st-4175508273/
I used the solution in that thread and reinstalled the compat32 libraries, which I guess overwrote the other packages.

from /var/log/packages-
glibc-2.17_multilib-x86_64-7alien
glibc-i18n-2.17_multilib-x86_64-7alien
glibc-profile-2.17_multilib-x86_64-7alien
glibc-solibs-2.17_multilib-x86_64-7alien
glibc-zoneinfo-2013d_multilib-noarch-7alien


Any help is always appreciated.

Hi Pinonoir, can you please post the output of these three commands?
Code:
grep -v ^# /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
Code:
grep -v ^# /etc/slackpkg/blacklist | grep -v ^$
Code:
cat /etc/slackware-version

Of course.

ftp://marmot.tn.utexas.edu/pub/slack...ckware64-14.1/

grep -v ^# /etc/slackpkg/blacklist


aaa_elflibs

bash-4.2$ cat /etc/slackware-version

first, become root with "su -"

- to be sure you haven't overwritten again any component of the multilib packages, download and install/reinstall all of alien's multilib stuff for 14.1 (as described in its README)
Code:
lftp -c mirror http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/14.1/
cd 14.1
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z
- reinstall the fglrx driver you got on the system (with "upgradepkg --reinstall"), as reinstalling the mesa-compat32 libraries in the previous step will overwrite the 32bit libraries of it (so you are sure the fglrx ones are used instead);

- add a blacklist entry for alien's stuff in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist: add this text line to the file
Code:
[0-9]+alien
so that packages tagged "alien" won't be overwritten by the ones in standard Slackware at the next "slackpkg upgrade-all"

after that you should be able to upgrade your system with slackpkg safely.

Hello,

You could also use the plugin slackpkg+ which adds to slackpkg the ability to manage packages from 3rd party repositories (including the multilib without the need to play with the blacklist). Here is a pretty good article on this plugin by Alienbob.

I ran the commands and rebooted, upon upgrading the package list is unchanged and shows the alien packages still.

Also, upon running steam it gave an error saying that direct rendering was not enabled, but glxinfo reports that it is enabled.

I decided to upgrade and saw that the alien packages were being overwritten by the x64 packages. After reinstalling the beta driver and rebooting I tried to run steam and received the libc.so.6 error which means that the lib32 libraries need to be installed again. So, I'm no closer than before and kinda stuck at this point.

what is the output of the following command?
Code:
grep -v ^# /etc/slackpkg/blacklist | grep -v ^$

It shouldn't have '_' in it, and you should blacklist the compat32 packages too,
Code:
[0-9]+alien
[0-9]+compat32

In /etc/slackpkg/blacklist you have
Code:
[0-9]+_alien
but it is wrong, it should be this:
Code:
[0-9]+alien

To clarify on that part.

bash-4.2$ ls /home/pino/Downloads/fglrx-14.20
amd-driver-installer-14.20-x86.x86_64.run doc
check.sh fglrx-14.20-x86_64-1.tgz


Would I just reinstall the .tgz file again?
