How do I get the latest usm version. I get:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# usm -v
You are using USM version: 3.1.7
root@porteus:~#
I would like 3.1.9 to get the latest kodi version.
Thanks.

Hi all,
USM on my system is stuck to version 3.1.4, though it keeps telling me that it is up to date despite me seeing that the latest version on SourceForge is 3.1.9.
Also USM can't access Slackbuilds and keeps throwing this awful "awk: fatal: cannot open file `/var/usm/sbo/SLACKBUILDS.TXT' for reading (No such file or directory)" error whenever a lib or package is not found in the repos.
Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

What version of Porteus are you running? And what desktop?
What happens when you run the usm command francois posted above your post?

Thanks for the reply Ed,
My Porteus kernel is
3.14.15 and it is running on a
DELL Inspiron 640M, dual core, 32 bits.
Attempting
usm -u usm results in the following:
Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE
An update is available for the usm database files.
Please run: usm -u all
You have the current USM version.

First, as a test, in always fresh mode, without saving changes in /home/guest:
Code: Select all
su
removepkg usm-latest-0.0-noarch-1
or whatever /var/log/packages has for usm.
Then download the appropriate usm package from SourceForge link to /home/guest, then
Code: Select all
installpkg usm-latest-0.0-noarch-1
if that is the package name.
Good luck.

It doesn't seem to work.
The
removepkg seems to work fine as it make 'usm' inaccessible.
But the
installpkg does not bring back the 'usm' command, even though it was that the package was installed.

Been a while since I last done something like this. Could be something to do with whiteouts, but don't think so. And nothing given for
Code: Select all
which usm

Interestingly, which usm results in /usr/bin/usm
file /usr/bin/usm outputs /usr/bin/usm: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable
There is no usm script in /opt/porteus-scripts/

Maybe this
brokenman script will help rebuild the USM system.

Wow, thanks Ed.
The Brokenman script worked like a charm and did upgrade usm to the latest version as expected.
The repo updates work fine now including the sbo database. fantastic.
Thank you all for your inputs.
