No updates shown in -current with slackpkg/slackpkg+
by rpedrica from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EX6H)
I've got a -current installation updated to the recent big rebuild (about a week ago?). I use slackpkg with slackpkg+, and update slackware itself from a local mirror, as well as other repos like multilib and alienbob from their respective URLs.
Even though my local mirror for slackware has recent updates in it from yesterday, slackpkg update/upgrade-all is showing no updates.
There's a couple of other threads here about these 2 packages but I couldn't quite figure out the issues they were indicating. In any case, I switched to the dev slackpkg+ and have the following installed.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1525 Mar 3 23:03 /var/log/packages/slackpkg+-1.7.4-noarch-1mt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3528 Feb 19 08:51 /var/log/packages/slackpkg-15.0-noarch-3
No significant errors are shown during slackpkg update, but upgrade-all remains empty. I cleared out my /var/cache/slackpkg to start from fresh but it made no diff. With slackpkg+ set to VERBOSE=3, I get the final output:
Quote:
slackpkg info <package> shows info but slackpkg search <package> does not.
Any help appreciated.
