[SOLVED] NetworkManager-openvpn & slackpkg bizarre behavior
by truepatriot76 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D7NM)
I was getting some reproducible freezes with my Network manager applet when activating vpn.
So I decided to reinstall NetworkManager-openvpn.
Code:slackpkg reinstall NetworkManager-openvpnIt resulted in no matching packages - odd, it's there. Verified by ls /var/log/packages/Netwo* and also pkgtool view packages.
Next, I went to a mirror and noted a build bump. I had NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.12-x86_64-1 installed and the mirror had NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.12-x86_64-2
The new build did solve my misbehaving NW applet BTW.
Question: Why wasn't the new build picked up by slackpkg upgrade-all? (not grey/blacklisted)
