USM v3.1.4 errors

[Rava]

I still get the usm update error, even after upgrading to Port 3.0.1

This happened when I activate my old usm-database module:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# usm version

 You are using USM version:  3.1.4

root@porteus:/var# usm -u all
root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images# usm -u all

When none of you can reproduce this error... could it be I access a salix mirror different from you guys?


Then I deactivated my usm-database module and also rm -r /var/usm. Now it's kinda worse since usm froze, and after ^C I get the same error:

Also, downloading is not working. What do I do wrong?

Why does usm -i work and usm -g not?

[Ed_P]

Try the approach shown here Rava: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 300#p27520

It worked for me.

[brokenman]

From a fresh v3.0.1 this is what I get:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sda8/projects/kiosk/storage# usm -v

 You are using USM version:  3.1.4

root@porteus:/mnt/sda8/projects/kiosk/storage# usm -g git

could it be I access a salix mirror different from you guys?
No. The MANIFEST.bz2 file is downloaded from sourceforge as it doesn't exist in salix. In fact you can open the file /etc/usm/files.txt and remove MANIFEST.bz2 from the salix section as it is not needed anymore. (will update next release).

So my advice would be to do: usm -u usm
Then try updating the databases.

[Rava]

I also get an error, but it seems to work:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/var# usm -u usm

How do I create an usm-3.1.4.xzm, or even better, how to update the module of Port 3.0.1 that has the outdated usm?

//edit
Found a typo in the help:

nodeps: No dpepndency resolution.

-> "nodeps: No dependency resolution."

[brokenman]

No such package: /var/log/packages/usm-*. Can't remove.
In a default porteus install there should be the package: /var/log/packages/usm-*
This is not so important, but it shows that your Porteus install has been modified?

You are currently using:
USM-v3.1.4
The latest version is USM-v3.1.6
The typo nodeps: No dpepndency resolution. was fixed in 3.1.6

How do I create an usm-3.1.4.xzm, or even better, how to update the module of Port 3.0.1 that has the outdated usm?
You can download a module from here

Or download and install the .txz package from the same address. Thanks.

[Rava]

The latest version is USM-v3.1.6

Downloaded and activated the module, now all seems to work fine... Searching and updating the databases is OK...

But... downloading still not works:

Code: Select all

When running the usmgui it said something along the line of "brokenman needs to update [... some file ...]"
When I see that error again I will post it...

Not only usm is mistaken when alien was updated ("14 seconds ago. Skipping.") but same is true for:

• "salix was updated 14 seconds ago. Skipping."
  "slacky was updated 14 seconds ago. Skipping."
  "slackware was updated 20 seconds ago. Skipping."
  "slackwarepatches was updated 20 seconds ago. Skipping."

All these have last been updated 2 days ago... still usm insists that instead of 2 days, it was 14 or 20 seconds ago...

[brokenman]

Once you've updated to v3.1.6 please provide output of: usm info

[Ed_P]

Once you've updated to v3.1.6

It sounds like he has upgraded to it.

Got another issue just now... usm v3.1.6 has issues updating the databases.

[Rava]

brokenman, here you go:

And another update. Usm version is still 3.1.6.

Sadly, I am not able to download any package via usm...

Also, this probably minor bug:

^
*facedesks* I am at my wit's end... maybe I did an mistake when I included the current usm in my Port 3.0.1 xzm...
Creating my updated 001-core.xzm I renamed it to to 001-core-rava-usm_3.1.6.xzm to reflect the changes made in it.

[Rava]

*Update*

I activated the usm-noarch-3.1.6 module... that should have fixed any potential errors I made while including usm in my 001- module... but to no preveail. It keeps getting to this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# usm -s gimp

gimp-2.8.6-x86_64-1.txz was found in slackware
Packages found:   1 

Use:   usm -i <package>  for more info
Use:   usm -g <package>  to download

root@porteus:/# usm -g gimp-2.8.6-x86_64-1.txz

 Nothing found for:  gimp-2.8.6-x86_64-1.txz 

... or could it be that the error is somehow connected to another error...

I run usm via XFCe's terminal... I either use "su" or "su -" there. But even "su -" behaves strange...
from man su:

-, -l, --login
Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had
the user logged in directly.

When - is used, it must be specified as the last su option. The
other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction.

Going to the home directory using "cd" ... gets me to ~ ... but it is not /root, but /home/guest...
Could this be the reason why my usm behaves strangely?

///
Update
Nope, just tried it in the virtual terminal where I logged in as root directly. There a "cd" gets me to "/root", so the above issue is not there. Still I get the same old error as quoted on top of this post.

Anyway, I don't see anything about dependencies... Gimp needs at least babl and gegl... Would that be solved during the download phase (that's not working for me?)
