upgradepkg not working for some packages
by timsoft from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZHDC)
specifically mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird
my guess.. probably because of the "-" in the package name.
standard 14.2 64bit install, then running upgradepkg *.txz from the patches/packages folder I noticed that the above two did not upgrade as expected. In fact, looking at /var/log/packages on my dev machine which has had multiple updates over time i noticed
Code:ls /var/log/packages/moz*
/var/log/packages/mozilla-firefox-68.0.2esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2-upgraded-2019-10-29,22:09:08
/var/log/packages/mozilla-firefox-68.3.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2-upgraded-2020-01-16,23:31:39
/var/log/packages/mozilla-firefox-68.5.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/mozilla-nss-3.40.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-68.4.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2-upgraded-2020-02-17,17:19:44
/var/log/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-68.5.0-x86_64-1_slack14.2trying to run Code:upgradepkg mozilla-firefox or Code:upgradepkg mozilla-thunderbird complains saying no such package
has anyone any ideas?
