Porteus package Manager not showing any packages

Post#1 by mlhend2002 » 01 Jan 2013, 13:53

Hi all,

Maybe because Porteus 2.0 Razor is RC1 (which is very fast, looks great and Feature Rich) but I go into Porteus package Manager it is not showing any packages. I tried to update package manager and database without any help. didn't know if this was a bug or being RC1 Razor packages just haven't been created yet.

Again, great job on Porteus 2.0.

The module repository available from Porteus Package Manager is not yet updated for Slackware-14.0/Porteus-2.0. This should be done when Porteus-2.0 Final would be released.

It should still work with the current repo. There was an update of gtkdialog which broke some functions. Clicking on a category won't show any packages for example. You can still search for a name though, for example type 'image' in the search area and it should still show the packages.

I am working through the script now updating for slackware 14.0
