[SOLVED] slackpkg upgrade-all seems to ignore some blacklisted items

Geremia · 07-30-2023, 09:42 PM

I have ffmpeg in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist, but upgrade-all keeps upgrading it. I don't have issues like this for other packages in my blacklist.

Geremia · 07-30-2023, 09:48 PM

Putting ffmpeg in greylist worked for preventing slackpkg upgrade-all from "upgrading" it, but I wonder why blacklist didn't.

I can't find a greylist in slackpkg

That because greylist is part of slackpkg+. Wish folks would specify if the have slackpkg+ installed with slackpkg, although greylist is a give away if you happen to know about slackpkg+.

What versions of slackpkg/slackpkg+ are you using?

Code:

# slackpkg help | grep "slackpkg -"

What is the output of:

Code:

USEBL=off slackpkg search ffmpeg

Code:

slackpkg search ffmpeg

What is your blacklist entry for ffmpeg? Are there any spaces in blacklist after the entries.

How about your slackpkgplug.conf PKGS_PRIORITY, REPOPLUS lines?

Have you built ffmpeg yourself? This happens if the package name doesn't follow the convention: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6345073

Yes, I built ffmpeg 6.0 myself and even set the suffix to "1alien", but "slackpkg upgrade-all" still "upgrades" it to "ffmpeg-5.1.2-x86_64-1alien" (even when greylisted, I discovered).

What is the whole name of your ffmpeg 6.0 package?

from /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log:

Code:

2023/07/31 06:05:25 upgraded:    ffmpeg-5.1.2-x86_64-1alien.txz  [alienbob]  (was ffmpeg-6.0-x86_64-1)

This is with "ffmpeg" in both blacklist and greylist.

My upgrades are done in a crontab:

Code:

slackpkg -batch=on update &> /dev/null
slackpkg -batch=on -default_answer=y upgrade-all &> /dev/null
slackpkg -batch=on -default_answer=y install-new &> /dev/null

Unrelated to this thread, ktown and vtown are not longer used. I presume that "clean-system" in handled manually?

Here is my complete blacklist file. My editor (Kate) is set to remove trailing spaces on save.

Code:

# /etc/slackpkg/blacklist
#
# This is a blacklist file. Any packages listed here won't be
# upgraded, removed, or installed by slackpkg.

# aaa_libraries should NOT be blacklisted!
#
# You can blacklist using regular expressions.
#
# All of the following will be checked for the regex:
# Package series, name, version, arch, build, and fullname
# When blacklisting packages, you can use extended regex on package names
# (such as xorg-.* instead of xorg-server, xorg-docs, etc), and a trailing
# slash for package series ("n/", "ap/", "xap/", etc).
#
# To blacklist *only* the "xorg-server" package, use this:
# xorg-server
#
# To blacklist *all* of the "xorg-server-*" packages, use this:
# xorg-server.*
#
# To blacklist the entire KDE package set, use this:
# kde/
#
# You will need to escape any special characters that are present in the
# package name. For example, to blacklist the gcc-g++ package, use this:
# gcc-g\+\+
#
# DON'T put any space(s) before or after the package name or regex.
#
# Automated upgrade of kernel packages may not be wanted in some situations;
# uncomment the lines below if that fits your circumstances, but note that
# kernel-headers should *not* be blacklisted:
#
#kernel-generic.*
#kernel-huge.*
#kernel-modules.*
#kernel-source
#
# This one will blacklist all SBo packages:
#[0-9]+_SBo
#### My stuff starts here.
kernel-generic.*
kernel-huge.*
kernel-modules.*
kernel-source
# My nonslack packages
#[0-9]+cgs
#[0-9]+aliencompat32
# Alien Bob and multilib packages
#[0-9]+alien
#[0-9]+compat32
# Other
#[0-9]+mt
# Keep from being picked up with "install nonslack".
apcupsd
# Do not upgrade, for installation only.
telegram-bin
tor-browser-bin
# Testing
ffmpeg

The package ffmpeg does not upgrade when using upgrade-all when blacklisted, batch or normal method.

This is my run with slackpkg search ffmpeg with ffmpeg blacklisted.

Code:

# slackpkg search ffmpeg

With ffmpeg blacklisted When I run "slackpkg -batch=on -default_answer=y upgrade-all" or slackpkg upgrade-all I get the same result.

Code:

# slackpkg -batch=on -default_answer=y upgrade-all

No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try:

The issue was that I needed a more explicit regex in my blacklist:

Code:
