slackpkg+ (yet another downgraded packages thread...)


Hi everyone,

first of all I apologise for this post, as it is probably the 23rd thread regarding the topic, but after reading all the others I am still a bit unclear about what's going on.

I have Slackware64-current and my /etc/slackpkg/slackpgkplus.conf looks like this:

Code:
SLACKPKGPLUS=on
PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib:.* restricted_current:.* restricted:.* alienbob_current:.* alienbob:.* ktown:.* )
REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus multilib ktown alienbob alienbob_current restricted )
MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['restricted']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+/
MIRRORPLUS['multilib']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/multilib/current/
MIRRORPLUS['alienbob_current']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/sbrepos/current/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['restricted_current']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/restricted_sbrepos/current/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['ktown']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/current/latest/x86_64/
I have KDE 4.14.0 and KDE 5.0.1 from Alien Bob installed, plus some other packages from him, Robby and SBo. Now, I want to keep my system up-to-date with slackpkgplus, but

Code:
# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update
# slackpkg upgrade-all
lists these packages to "upgrade" to the following packages:

Code:
cmake-2.8.12-x86_64-1 (installed: 3.0.1 alien)
darktable-1.0.5-x86_64-1alien (installed 1.4.2 SBo)
harfbuzz-0.9.16-x86_64-1 (installed 0.9.34 alien)
kwallet-4.10.5-x86_64-1 (installed: 5.1.0 alien)
lensfun-0.2.6-x86_64-1alien (installed: 0.2.8 SBo)
libxcb-1.9.1-x86_64-1alien (installed: 1.9.1-1 alien)
phonon-4.6.0-x86_64-1 (installed: 4.6.0-1)
phonon-gstreamer-4.6.3-x86_64-1 (installed: 4.7.2-1 alien)
strigi-0.7.7-x86_64-2 (installed: 0.7.8-1 alien)
x264-20131101-x86_64-1_SBo (installed: 20130524-1 alien)
Why?

What I find most irritating is the proposed downgrade of kwallet. Now, I understand that slackpkg(plus) has no concept of higher or lower versions. But why then just this single one KDE packages, and not all the others, too?

Probably there's some misconfiguration of slackpkgplus on my side, but what is it?

Thanks for any help in advance!

In any case, these two are incorrect URLs:
Code:
MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['restricted']=http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien-kde/restricted_sbrepos/14.1/x86_64/
But your issue is not caused by that.

You have my Plasma 5 packages installed but did not tell slackpkg about it.

You need to add the Plasma 5 repository URL to slackpkgplus.conf. That is, http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/al...rrent/testing/

Thanks a lot, Eric, adding Plasma 5 helped!
Now, only a few packages are left, that slackpkgplus wants to downgrade:

Code:
darktable-1.0.5-x86_64-1alien (installed 1.4.2 SBo)
lensfun-0.2.6-x86_64-1alien (installed: 0.2.8 SBo)
libxcb-1.9.1-x86_64-1alien (installed: 1.9.1-1 alien)
x264-20131101-x86_64-1_SBo (installed: 20130524-1 alien)
I guess, I can add the SBo stuff to a greylist. What what's the best way to proceed with the other two, libxcb and x264?

Thanks again!

Do you have an "SBo" repository configured in slackpkg+?

Is this possible? Until now I thought, that slackpkg(plus) only handles binary packages, not SlackBuilds. Would this be a valid URL, then?

Code:
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.1/
EDIT: Tried it, but there's no GPG key or fingerprint, so slackpkg(plus) skips this repository.

No, you misunderstand what Slax-Dude is hinting.

You *could* make your own repository of *built* SBo packages by (for example) redefining OUTPUT in sbopkg.conf and running Alien Bob's gen_repos_files.sh, and then you can use that repository in slackpkgplus.conf. There are other advanced tools that do all that.

But if you only have one Slackware box, and if you always use sbopkg to build and install, then it's easier to blacklist all SBo packages, or greylist specific SBo packages, just as you suggested.

Thanks, this makes sense to me.

I consider this SOLVED now and will mark the thread accordingly. Thanks for your help to all of you!
