Are you using the ktown or multilib ? Looks like this should be commented "#" out.

Your 'REPOPLUS=' doesn't list your mirrors below.

The bug was introduced with the SHOWORDER option.
The -3mt disable that feature if you need ncurses.

I cannot work these days to slackpkg+
(Merry Christmas)

The not correct slackpkg version is a bug of slackpkg (simply version not modified in message), fixed on slackware current.

Reverting back to version slackpkg+-1.6.1-noarch-3mt solved the issue reporting in post 325

@zerouno

Could you please remove -4mt from the slackpkg+ repository [EDIT] when you go back to work on slackpkg+. Merry Christmas[/EDIT].

zerouno · 12-24-2015, 03:20 AM

To help me analisys (after Christmas

), can you give me the list of package installed in that upgrade?

If you already istalled packages, you can take the list from

# grep 2015/12/24 /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log

Here's what was upgraded today after I reverted back to -3mt:

Code:

$grep 2015/12/24 /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log
2015/12/24 09:31:58 upgraded:    mozilla-thunderbird-38.5.0-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz  [patches]  (was mozilla-thunderbird-38.4.0-x86_64-1_slack14.1)

In fact, I had the same issue when I upgraded mozilla-firefox yesterday (with -4mt):

Code:

$ grep 2015/12/23 /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log
2015/12/23 11:22:55 upgraded:    mozilla-firefox-38.5.2esr-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz  [patches]  (was mozilla-firefox-38.5.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.1)
2015/12/23 11:30:57 upgraded:    libreoffice-5.0.4-x86_64-1alien.txz  [alienbob]  (was libreoffice-4.4.5-x86_64-1alien)
2015/12/23 11:31:06 upgraded:    libreoffice-dict-fr-5.0.4-x86_64-1alien.txz  [alienbob]  (was libreoffice-dict-fr-4.4.5-x86_64-1alien)
2015/12/23 11:31:09 upgraded:    libreoffice-kde-integration-5.0.4-x86_64-1alien.txz  [alienbob]  (was libreoffice-kde-integration-4.4.5-x86_64-1alien)
2015/12/23 11:31:13 upgraded:    libreoffice-l10n-fr-5.0.4-x86_64-1alien.txz  [alienbob]  (was libreoffice-l10n-fr-4.4.5-x86_64-1alien)

But I didn't report the problem because after I upgraded mozilla-firefox without dialog (i.e. -dialog=off), slackpkg worked again fine with dialog when I upgraded libreoffice packages (from alienbob repository).

Yes I do use both multilib and ktown. The "PKG_PRIORITY=" statement is setup the way the documentation state to do it, with priority packages all on one line not separated. I know that having two PKG_PRIORITY= statements use to mean that slackpkgplus would only use the last one as a switch, thus the need to put both on the same line.

If you look again you'll see that my MIRRORPLUS= lines include both the PKG_PRIORITY and REPOPLUS repositories.

But thank you for suggestions to double check every switch setting.

Merry Christmas to you also! May God bless you and your family with good health, many riches in everyday life, and with the graces to know that Jesus Christ is the Savior for all who follow Him.

I've successfully moved back to -3mt. But unable to test ncurses interface since no upgrades are pending for my install.
I'll post more if problems persist on an upgrade. At least at this point the terminal interface continues to work.

zerouno · 12-24-2015, 12:03 PM

Thank you.

the output of
# grep 2015/12/23 /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log
# grep 2015/12/24 /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log
Should be sufficient

zerouno · 12-24-2015, 07:35 PM

was a bug impacting the 'patches' repository.
Thankyou for bugreport.

I don't think that Pat releases patches in Christmas' day

, but
slackpkg+-1.6.1-noarch-5mt.txz should solve.

to test it rename
/var/log/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-38.5.0-x86_64-1_slack14.1
in
/var/log/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-38.5.0-x86_64-0_slack14.1

then run
slackpkg upgrade-all
(then exit and re-rename the file)

Have a good Christmas' day

It seems to work fine for me.

-5mt solved the issue. I tested as you suggested. Thanks for the quick fix.

bamunds · 12-26-2015, 01:35 PM

Upgraded to -5mt and the ncurses form is now properly coming up. Thank you for the quick fix.
The caching error follows, I've turned off again for now.

"Invalid" means that the cache is invalid becouse the original file may be changed (there are updates in repository) and need to be redownloaded.

@zerouno Thanks for the explanation about the "Invalid" but why am I getting the 'NO CACHING" for the tds.net?
