New install of multilib responds with FATAL problem with gcc
by thethinker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PT5Q)
Hey Slackers,
So I'm setting up a new system - installed Slackware 15.0, then getting updates via slackpkg. Then move to multilib following AlienBob: https://docs.slackware.com/slackware...tilib_packages. I do the quick and dirty instructions to get multilib versions of gcc, glibc, and converted 32-bit Slackware packages. I then install slackpkg+ (not blacklisting anything, yet or ever), seems to work fine, and then hit
slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all
and get:
Code:# slackpkg upgrade-all
FATAL! There is some problem in packages database
or maybe an installation or upgrade in progress:
gcc-11.2.0-x86_64-2-upgraded-2024-08-07,10:31:19
If you continue you may corrupt packages database.
Check or retry laterSo that seems to be referring to the multilib upgrade I just did - I don't see how the upgrade could still be in progress. On the other hand, I know we used to have to add gcc to the list of blacklisted packages, but with slackpkg+ that shouldn't be required.
Any thoughts here?
