USM bug reports

[Ed_P]

Ed, why you choose 0.4.4 newest one is 2.0.3

Well, it use to work for me with Porteus 3.0. (Re: Password Manager (Post by Ed_P #51937)). 0.4.3 actually. But 0.4.3 doesn't work with Porteus 3.2.2 and Porteus 3.0 doesn't work on my new notebook.

However, what i had to do to get keepassx running:
Link the missing files

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/lib# ln -s /usr/share/copasi/lib/libQtXml.so.4 libQtXml.so.4
root@porteus:/usr/lib# ln -s /usr/share/copasi/lib/libQtGui.so.4 libQtGui.so.4
root@porteus:/usr/lib# ln -s /usr/share/copasi/lib/libQtCore.so.4 libQtCore.so.4

An excellent suggestion donald. Especially after I ran this command:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# locate libQtXml
/usr/lib/libQtXml.so
/usr/lib/libQtXml.so.4
/usr/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8
/usr/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8.2
/usr/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8.5
/usr/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so
/usr/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4
/usr/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8
/usr/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8.2
/usr/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8.5
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.la
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.prl
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.so
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.so.4
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8.2
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXml.so.4.8.5
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.la
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.prl
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8.2
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.8.5
/usr/share/copasi/lib/libQtXmlPatterns.so.4
/usr/share/copasi/lib/libQtXml.so.4

Which could also explain why USM didn't include the missing file.

So far there is no problem to speak of. The contents of the file used to overwrite /usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet above, were those posted at the bottom of USM Skirting Sync Issue

I think there's something wrong with my system or something different to yours since we still have the error after downloading your funcpackageGet.hic at the bottom of USM Skirting Sync issue:

Code: Select all

not really but if you pay attention to my code you will see actually both commands are the same ;-)

In /usr/share/usm/ I have funcpackageGet soft linked to funcpackageGet.hic so moving a new version of funcpackageGet.hic to /usr/share/usm is more or less the same to copying it to /usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet

[Ed_P]

I don't have sufficient expertise to disagree with your approach port, but deleting the *.hic file in /usr/share/usm/ and using the command Bogomips said works only takes a minute to do and try. And eliminates one possible cause of your problem.

hey! it also works!

Probably it would be an issue with repositories metadata which is now solved...

[Ed_P]

What a lack of faith!

But you got the results I was hoping for. Not based on my suggestion and that's not important, the important thing is you got the module you wanted.

And I've learned that links can be made to more than just executables.

[port]

It seems this is a recurrent problem, probably it's only a problem with repositories metadata since this time I solved the issue with an usm repostory update (usm -u allI but I don't know if it's only due to metadata errors in repositories or there'is also a kind of bug in funcpackageGet.hic so I light a yellow warning led here if it is somehow useful ;-)

(porteus 3.2.2 64 LXDE)

Second day in a row I'm receiving the same error when using

after

Code: Select all

# proxySet
# usm -u usm
# usm -u all
... all databases appear to update okay
# usmgui

trying to install Lyx, for example, of djview, two message boxes appear eventually:

Fatal error
LIBS.TXT

and

Please wait 6 hours for the next database update. Could not find LIBS.TXT

However all subfolders in /var/usm contain non-empty LIBS.TXT.

So what's going on and how to fix, please?

[Ed_P]

I recommend updating the distro mirrors lists. And the easiest way is to run the sesm.sh script in this posting: [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM

[apollo]

@rych
same here, update tells me everything is fine but when i try to download some modules the mentioned error appears. Nevertheless some modules can be downloaded successfully.

I haven´t tried the script mentioned by Ed_P yet...
