[SOLVED] Curious problem with slackpkg: install-new does not list a new package
by sombragris from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59YT7)
I used to run ktown before, and vtown now. Thus, after the major python 3.9 update on October 25th I held off upgrading until now when vtown was released.
Among those upgrades after October 25th was a new upgrade of poppler. Thus I removed everything ktown, then installed vtown, and then I did the usual round of Code:slackpkg install-new && slackpkg upgrade-allWell, after upgrading to vtown I wanted to see how the new poppler fared and first I checked whether I had installed it. Surprise! there was none! I only had these:
Code:poppler-compat-0.68.0-x86_64-1alien
poppler-data-0.4.9-noarch-1I was incredulous. Poppler was not installed on the system! I did Code:slackpkg install-new again and nothing. Only after typing Code:slackpkg install poppler I was able install poppler by using slackpkg.
I wonder what happened. I only have the 'alien' tag blacklisted, but nothing else. This is certainly odd. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since I need to be aware of any issues which could affect the administration of my system.
