Ok I got this folder which has got let's say 3 packages:
example1.txz
example2.txz
example3.txz
Of course, there are many more packages actually. But anyway, I want to create a script that will upgrade all packages contained in the folder at once just by running the script.
System Slackware64-Current multi-lib enabled. What command would I use to upgrade the compat32 packages after making new ones?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a brand new Slackware 13.1 x64 installation, and I'm having problems with slapt-get.
I'm unable to upgrade existing packages or install new ones. The output in terminal is:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Worth mentioning also, I managed to install Gnome from [URL] without any problems immediately prior to this error message starting to appear.
I've been using Debian and Ubuntu derivatives for the last couple of years, so I'm comfortable using the terminal and possibly doing some more advanced stuff.
I ran slackpkg update, then slackpkg install-new, then slackpkg upgrade-all. The menu shows pretty much every package that comes stock in slackware, and the ones that I looked at are all older versions than what I have installed. Is this how its supposed to be? or is my slackpkg bugging out?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.04 and for several days now I get two packages that are grayed out and do not upgrade in upgrade-manager.
If I use the shell and apt-get I get the following message: The following packages have been kept back: firefox-gnome-support update-manager
The system is functioning well, but these 2 packages just linger as I process probably hundreds of lucid upgraded packages.
I noticed that the official Slackware packages don't contain static libraries. The SlackBuild scripts from slackbuilds.org or from Slackware DVD usually contain --disable-static option to prevent building the .a file. And if configure script doesn't allow such option, the .a file is deleted before the package is created.I am wondering what is the reason for that? Is it just the matter of conserving disk space? Are there also other reasons?

I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.

I need to remove a lot of rpm packages and I would like to save some time and make things easier, but I am unsure of how to do it. Currently I just copy/paste over and over. My plan was to put the output of the command below into a text file, and use that text file to remove all the packages.
rpm -qa |grep xxxxx > file.txt
My question is how do I get that file to work with "rpm -e". I tried to insert the file using the less than symbol but that didn't work:
rpm -e --nodeps < file.txt
I need to install almost 10 packages using yum. i know the package names. Is there any way to install them in one single command ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have uploaded some slackware packages to ftp://ftp.herpderp.ca/slackpkg/. These are packages that I haven't been able to find anywhere else and they are all built on a clean slackware 13.0 system using slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org. I will be uploading more in the future as I build them.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm facing this problem since a month on Fedora 10. I have some 45 packages for upgrade through KPackageKit which belong to KDE.
While I give it to upgrade, it gives me a strange message which says
Multiple packages exist that are not compatible with each other.
This is usually due to mixing packages from different software sources.
When I press the details button, I get these details.
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
libkwalletbackend.so.4 is needed by kdebase-runtime-4.2.0-7.fc10.i386
Please report this error at [URL]
I get this message only for the KDE packages. I have libkwalletbackend.so.4 in my /usr/lib directory.
This all started when my Screenlets stopped working. Then I noticed that my update notification stopped too. So, to the command line I went to do and update hoping it was a recent update that needed to be fixed.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
It appears that multiple python packages are trashed some how? Currently doing sudo apt-get -f install I get:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Is it possible to remove multiple packages listed in a text file? Similar to "cat orphan.txt | zypper rm" or "zypper rm <orphan.txt." Neither worked.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have three Ubuntu desktops that I would like to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. Is there a way to avoid having each PC download the same packages? Is there some magic I can do with two of the PCs to maybe point the software source list at the third 'master' PC that does all the downloading?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to quickly remove multiple related packages from the command line instead of having to enter the name of every single one? I am trying to remove OpenOffice from my server running 10.04. It would work nicely if I could get a list of packages without line breaks, such as the list displayed by aptitude when upgrading. That way I could just paste the package list into the terminal. However, "aptitude search 'openoffice'" dumps a long list on many lines that cannot be used that way.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have not been able to upgrade any of my 9.10 karmic packages for about a week now. I have attempted to do so using both the Update Manager Gnome tool and the terminal command "sudo apt-get upgrade". Using the terminal command gives me (at the end of the resulting process) the following:
"dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
" syntax error: unknown group 'Debian-exim' in statoverride file
"E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)"
I have tried:
#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get check
#sudo apt-get upgrade
The first two of the above 3 steps work as expected. I get the reported failure message after the last (3rd) step every time.
The last thing I remember doing before I started having this problem was to upgrade Firefox to version 3.6 and Thunderbird to version 3.0.
Any chance to have KDE 4.5.1 packages for Slackware current?
Searched both official Slackware and Alien site and found nothing.
Since I upgraded Gnash: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=115357 I can't upgrade anything. At least I think that's when it started.
In Aptitude, I have 176 "packages being automatically held in their current state", and 47 "packages being held back". When I updated the package list, there was a dozen or so lines that were yellow instead of green, but it ran too fast for me to read. I doubt that is important, but I try to give as much info as possible.
I'm running Debian Wheezy, 7.1.
I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade . It says that 3 packages are not upgraded. Thet are linux-generic, linux-image-generic and linux-headers generic. I have never had this problem when using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade since it is supposed to resolve all conflicts and other issues with upgrades. Can anyone tell me how I can upgrade those three packages?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu on my laptop since 9.10 by itself (not dualbooting Windows). I had no problems with it back then but I did notice that when I upgraded, not all the packages installed and I would get an error message saying so. I never thought much of it. The problem became apparent when upgrading from 9.10 to 10.4, I would get an error message everytime and the upgrade would be cancelled. This forced me to reinstall Ubuntu for both 10.04 and 10.10. As soon as I downloaded 10.10 I downloaded docky and chromium. Heres where my current problems arise:
- Docky (which worked in 10.04) wont work even after I download compiz.
- Every time I update the system, if i try to update chromium or anything else from google it cancels the upgrade.
- I tried using "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the terminal but I get
"Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."
I'm a bit confused with this: When I log on a server it says 6 packages can be upgraded. When I run apt-get upgrade though it says that 0 upgraded, 0 new installed, 0 uninstalled and 3 cannot be upgraded. Occasionally, when there are indeed more updates available than those 6 packages, upgrade works fine. I believe the server is up-to-date. Why is that?

Why would Ubuntu insist there are so many updates available when neither apt-get nor synaptic seem to find anything to upgrade???
I am trying to update all the packages for 5.4 without going to 5.5, I believe I saw at one point instructions on how to do this, where I could in effect cap the version to stay on 5.4. Doing 'yum update' takes me to 5.5.

just curious if there was some discussion about reasons (not)-including Lua in stock Slackware packages ? IMHO it perfectly fits to distro's KISS philosophy, is very small and packaging maintenance is very easy (only glibc dependency, simple compilation and installation proces). Slackware contains programming language implementations of Common Lisp, Guile Scheme, Ada 95 which I find more exotic then Lua in these days. I know there are some histroical reasons and keeping continuity but anyway ...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know this type of upgrade question is asked regularly so I apologise in advance if its annoying.
Im currently running 12.2, and Im wondering when 13.1 may be available? have there been many problems with 13.0? I've been working quite alot so havent been checking in that often lately.
also, would my old .tgz packages work with 13.1, or would I need to rebuild them as .txz?
Since there aren't many available third party packages for slackware 13.1 yet, is it safe to install packages built for slackware 13.0? For example I need to install openoffice and skype and the latest packages i could find are built for 13.0.
