[SOLVED]PREFERRED not found

Post by AllBroken »

/etc/slapt/slapt-getrc :

Code: Select all

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get

EXCLUDE=^aaa_elflibs,^aaa_base,^devs,^glibc-.*,^kernel-.*,^udev,^rootuser-settings,^zzz-settings,-x86_64-

SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/i486/slackware-13.1/:OFFICIAL
SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/i486/slackware-13.1/extra/:OFFICIAL

SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/i486/13.1/:PREFERRED

slapt-get --version :

Code: Select all

version slapt-get de 0.10.2g
/etc/slackware-version

Code: Select all

Slackware 13.1.0

And now the problems :

First, when i do : slapt-get -u

Code: Select all

 HTTP response code said error/i486/13.1/:PREFERRED
The others sources does not return me an error

Secund, when i do slapt-get --add-keys

Code: Select all

Not found Key GPG [http://salix.enialis.net/i486/13.1/:PREFERRED
Again, the others sources does not return me an error

Third, when i try to get a list of slapt-get --available packages it return nothing (slapt-get --installed returns me the list of installed pkgs, as expected)

It's working fine here. Maybe the server was down for a short while or your connection was lost. Try again.

Thx for answering me.

But as soon as it's just a connexion issue... i guess i don't have to worry about? just refresh until it comes that_what_she_said__

It doesn't make much sense that you're having any problem. The server is up, it's working fine. Are you behind a proxy or something?

Working again.

I've resolved it the dirty way.
So I've run the liveCD,and the slapt-get worked. I copy-paste the etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc of my LiveCD into the slapt-getrc of my current install. Not working.
Fuck it, i did a reinstall and at least it works now.

Thing is, i did a "man slapt-get" to find out how to update from 13.1 to 13.37. slapt-get --dist-upgrade looked so easy, i decided to run it.
As i seen it was not working, i tried various others commands that i thought interesting in the man. And it's how i get the slapt-get not working.

I am now upgrading following the SalixOs wiki.

Thx for helping; sry for inconvenience.

Yes, it seems a bit confusing since the syntax of that option seems so appropriate, but it is actually not recommended to use that option for upgrading Salix:

Excellent!

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
