If that doesn't work, try the beta version.

Ah, but I tried the little rename trick... installpkg tells me that the .tgz file is corrupt, upon which I change it back. I don't know why this happens.

I know. See post 19.

NP.

You might want to also :

Code:
swaret --install openldap
swaret --get linuxdoc-tools
upgradepkg sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-12%/var/swaret/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-1.tgz
You can also probably get rid of the db3 and db31 packages with removepkg.

You can also try out seamonkey. It's a replacemnet for Mozilla.

For anyone interested, a recent upgrade to -current should look something like this:

Code:
swaret --upgrade pkgtool
swaret --get glibc # get all 5
telinit 1 # and login or go back to an active terminal
cd /var/swaret
upgradepkg glibc-*2.tgz # make sure this only includes the packages that you just got
telinit 3
updatedb # nice idea, if you set swaret.conf to use slocate
swaret --install openldap
swaret --get linuxdoc-tools
upgradepkg sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-12%/var/swaret/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-1.tgz
swaret --upgrade -a
updatedb # again, if configured to use slocate.
swaret --dep # manually resolve any deps not accounted for
find /etc -name "*.new" # reconcile configs.  There will be a lot.
After that, I update alsa-utils (as needed), but I use the drivers directly from the kernel. Know what you're doing.

This is a quick overview, to give anyone just using the old one-liner (swaret --upgrade -a) an idea what they should be looking to do.

Hello All,

Exactly same problem here, Updated / upgraded with swaret and then all the mozilla apps in KDE stop working, after snooping around the KB in mozilla.org they suggested to launch the app from shell, Where I found that libcairo.so.2 was missing.
I am doing:
swaret --purge
swaret --update
swaret --upgrade -a (auto)
swaret --install -a (it's cooking ..)

Keep you posted,
Edgar

Problem fixed.
As fas as I can tell now Mozilla Apps works,
Although at the end getting missing libraries but they are all from Gnome which I have not installed/run, so apparently is OK.

I got it going

Heres a little tip for you new users out there like me. install swaret from the link provided. edit the swaretfile in /etc (make sure you read everything dont windows it) then do the
swaret --update then swaret--upgrade once all that is done do a swaret --dep and it will list something like this.
Search for (libORBit-2.so.0), needed by 'bmp-0.9.7-i386-1mkz'!
Search for (libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0), needed by 'bmp-0.9.7-i386-1mkz'!
then go to this site http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/
and search like this libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0 system:slackware(or whatever) Arch:i386(Or??)
download the rpm and then rpm2tgz it and installpkg the file. And it should fix the dependices. Now I dont know if this is the best way to do it but I got a huge harddrive and what the hell it worked for me.

http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html is also handy for this. Aim for Red Hat rpms if pos - they always seem to work.

I had the same problem. Just rename swaret.tgz.tar to swaret.tgz and use installpkg. If the installpkg command doesnt work, then move swaret.tgz to the / dir and do tar xvf swaret.tgz and it should install everything.
