gcc-g++ blacklisted but still showing up in slackpkg upgrade

wirelessmc · 08-17-2021, 05:07 PM

This has happened a couple times now on different systems/upgrades. Not sure why but maybe it only happens when there is a version bump?
I intentionally blacklist gcc-g++ below since I typically upgrade multilib prior to upgrading -current with slackpkg.

Have you tried escaping the special character '+' as per the instructions in the blacklist file?

Code:

gcc-g\+\+

In /etc/slackpkg/blacklist you have to escape special characters. Your entry for gcc-g++ should look like this:

gcc-g\+\+

Makes sense. Thanks. But it seems earlier versions of slackpkg handled these "+" characters without the escape characters.
