RE: ver 3.1, 32 bit, EXT4 partition
Hi,
USM GUI traps 'Missing database files.' error, pointing to slacky repo:

Code: Select all

usm -u all
sh-4.2# usm -u all
alien was updated 3112 seconds ago. Skipping.
salix was updated 3103 seconds ago. Skipping.

[/code]
Also, CLI USM traps this problem:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ sudo usm -u slacky
Password:

 You need the following programs to continue:  
installpkg
removepkg
guest@porteus:~$ 

A search for these modules finds nothing!

This problem is not unique to a single micro, any HELP please??
thx

Hi,
Now down to the 'unexpected end of file' hiccup:

Code: Select all

Problem appears intermittantly.

^ Looks like the out of sync problem. Or try another mirror for slacky.
