Swaret Error

rcbaxter · 09-15-2004, 08:18 PM

I'm running Slackware 10.0 and have downloaded and installed the latest Swaret. Upon issuing the #swaret --update command, the following error is thrown. Any ideas? The swaret.lang.ENGLISH file does exist in the /usr/share/swaret-1.6.2 directory.

Error:

/usr/share/swaret-1.6.2/swaret.lang.ENGLISH does not exist!

what is the output of
ls -l /usr/share/swaret-1.6.2/swaret.lang.ENGLISH

rcbaxter · 09-15-2004, 09:01 PM

ls: /usr/share/swaret-1.6.2/swaret.lang.ENGLISH: No such file or directory

I issued the command from / where Swaret directories install, usr. and etc reside. I can browse to the same path and see the the swaret.lang.ENGLISH file.

Which Swaret version did you install? I need version number here please..

Swaret 1.6.2
Gnome 2.6

swaret 1.6.2 does not work correctly because it grabs the depency list from the old/disfunctional site www.swaret.org, I would get this package

http://swaret.sourceforge.net/module...eq=getit&lid=4

But first remove the existing swaret package installed

removepkg swaret

then rm -rf /etc/swaret.conf

then install the new package and go edit /etc/swaret.conf

Should work.

Swaret 1.6.2 MOST DEFINATELY still works. I am running it with slackware current (10). All you need to do is change your DEP_ROOT in /etc/swaret.conf to the new site:
DEP_ROOT=http://swaret.sourceforge.net
Also check out the new website at the same url.

Thanks Smokey! The version that you provided worked like a charm. I'm now able to update my slack quite easily.
