Flash Package Upgrade Failure

Post by laprjns »

The latest flash upgrade failed to install on my desktop tonight (13.1.2). When I first upgrade via the Salix Upgrade notifier I got a error box saying something about pkgtool failure. I then tried upgrading using slapt-get and here's what i got:

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get --upgrade
Reading Package Lists...Done
The following packages have been EXCLUDED:
  zzz-settings

1 upgraded, 0 reinstalled, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 1 not upgraded.

I had no problems with this upgrade on my laptop(13.1.2) so it could be something with unique with my desktop.
Thanks

Not that again... :-\

Should be fixed with the new package. Rebuild your package cache and try upgrading again.
