Thanks will check it out.

1.0 After updating the database I confirm that the files are in /mnt/live/memory/changes/var/usm/. I imagine my persistent folder has corrupted with time. I will try with a brand new one.

2.0 Alien database is back.

3.1.8 had only one shortcoming, in that it did not activate a module made from a single package. 3.1.9 makes modules of everything, of bundle and of modules in subfolder. Even though bundle is ready, one has to wait till usm finishes making all the constituent modules, all of which are of no use to me.

Duplication persists (which is somewhat irritating):

Could be due to the prior awk error?

Yes, I've found USM making everything a module before merging them, I assumed that was what it always did.

An improvement I would like to see is when USM's Processing window lists multiple packages containing a dependency it would be nice if the packages listed included their size. It would help a user select which package he/she wants to select.

Can anyone else confirm this? I can't reproduce it. Updates find in both archs.

Have you altered the config file at all?

 You are using USM version:  3.1.7

I would like 3.1.9 to get the latest kodi version.

Thanks.

How do I get the latest usm version.

The USM GUI's Update function works.

[francois]

usm -u usm works fine.
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.

[Ed_P]

What version of Porteus are you running? And what desktop?

What happens when you run the usm command francois posted above your post?
