Weird slackpkg upgrade message during a slackpkg upgrade-all process.
by frtorres from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E2BZ)
Hi all,
From: https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/latest/
I used this iso file: slackware64-live-current.iso
For a HD install (setup2hd), to my disk. I reused a /home/user directory previously used in another install. All went fine with this install.
Using slackpkg (no config changes) to upgrade hd install, today and after a very long downloading process, It did not complete the process because slackpkg itself was upgraded and I got this messages:
Code:Upgrading slackpkg-15.0-noarch-2 package using ./slackpkg-2.82.1-noarch-3.txz
Executing install script for slackpkg-2.82.1-noarch-3.txz.
Package slackpkg-2.82.1-noarch-3.txz installed.
Package slackpkg-15.0-noarch-2 upgraded with new package ./slackpkg-2.82.1-noarch-3.txz.
slackpkg was upgraded - you will need start the upgrade process again...Is slackg-15.0 a newer version than slackpkg-2.82? If so, why is it upgraded? It's weird..
I am not sure to continue the process with slackpkg version 2.82.1 I currently have.
Any explanation or comments? Thanks in advance.
