Please try the commands in my previous post. wget -O and curl -o also state your version of wget. I can check the version tonight if you don't answer in time.

The problem is most certainly not server side. If it was, it would be reproducible by many. It is more likely due to a different version of sed or awk between v2.1 which you are using, and v3.0 on which i was coding. Let me downgrade and do some more testing.

[brokenman]

Finally nailed it. I was able to reproduce the problem which was caused by a mixture of two things.

In ponce's repository, the 14.1 tree contains the MANIFEST in the CHECKSUM.md5 file, while the 14.0 tree doesn't. This was causing the 'problem during download' message on 14.0 as the md5sum mismatched (didn't exist). This doesn't concern me because (as previously stated) USM will only be run on slackware 14.1+

The weirdness of binary files (which certainly is a concern) was caused by something in gawk-3.1.8 (I am using 4.1.0). I don't know exactly what and I can't reproduce it on another file, but with the PACKAGES.TXT file gawk-3.1.8 outputs a binary after using the RS= flag. Commenting out the codeblock with awk (I requested in a previous post) proved this. In any case, until I find out the reason I have bypassed this odd(?) behaviour by first putting the output of awk into a variable and then passing it to a file using printf. This seems to work and allows the script to function normally.

I will push another update tomorrow (well later today really). 1:30am and my brain is bruised from the repeated forehead slaps. I'm sure this has frustrated you too phhpro so thanks for persisting. Without it, I would never have discovered the bug until after beta.

usm-3.0.7-noarch-1.txz: updated
Fixed bad database file for slackwarepatches (thanks slaxmax)
Added downloader search (curl/wget)
Changed format of usm.conf file

It would be nice if user can specify which distro (alien|salix|ponce|slackware|slacky or user specified order) should be searched for package and set preference to search precompiled binary before source. How can I test i.e. alien repo - maybe there is bug in USM that allow only search and download from slackware repo.

Code: Select all

usm -s plume

or

Code: Select all

usm -s plume-creator

gives

Code: Select all

Nothing found for plume

and in alien repo already exists plume-creator-0.54-x86_64-1alien.tgz

[beny]

tome:
bash-4.2# usm -g plume

IMPORTANT NOTICE
All packages will download to: /tmp/usm

Would you like to change the destination now? [y/n]

@tome
You are using porteus 2.1?
usm is not guaranteed to work in porteus 2.1 and slackware 14.0

[tome]

Thanks beny, but it doesn't work. Bug is in USM - if I create 'usm' link in /var to another folder in real filesystem to save database (I use fresh mode) then after updating alien (usm -u alien; usm -s plume) I have this:

Code: Select all

 You are missing required database files! 
 Please run: usm -u all

awk: fatal: cannot open file `/var/usm/sbo/SLACKBUILDS.TXT' for reading (No such file or directory)
Nothing found for plume

But without link everything is correct.

[beny]

tome seem that point to wrong file and i think fresh mode isn't ok for a tool like usm you need the repos files upgraded always in? i can be wrong of course so waiting for brokenman hint
