@laprjns - couldn't do anything - no keyboard response - no "typee" at all
@JRD - we all have our "duh" moments,
---like I tried to reinstall off the USB stick, but this bios gets cranky at times, sometimes it works sometimes not, doesn't seem to matter whether I use unetbootin or "dd". My other puters work fine with the USB stick. Soooo, I booted into a Puppy CD and did the USB stick again, still wouldn't boot; me being cheap I didn't want to burn a DVD but did, EXCEPT I burned it with the Slackware64.iso, "thought the install screens were different" - I'll wake up here sometime

Re: 578 Upgrades? [solved]
I have another upgrade problem:
Code: Select all
Upgrading package distribute-0.6.28-i486-1fg -> distribute-0.6.32-i486-1fg...
| distribute (Easily build and distribute Python packages)
|
| Distribute is a fork of the Setuptools project. Distribute is intended
| to replace Setuptools as the standard method for working with Python
| module distributions.
| Providing a backward compatible version to replace Setuptools and make
| all distributions that depend on Setuptools work as before, but with
| less bugs and behaviorial issues.

That's exactly what you should do in a stable repository: nothing.fredg wrote:Only those who do nothing are never wrong

Nothing other than what's absolutely necessary and once more it seems that we have broken that rule and once more that has gotten us into trouble. The repositories are not a playground.
Re: 578 Upgrades? [solved]
About "distribute", I don't know. It's not related to the problem earlier.
Re: 578 Upgrades? [solved]
I think the trouble is that it is stable only for the Xfce release, so we will have to "play" with it again.That's exactly what you should do in a stable repository: nothing.
The release was maybe a little bit too quick.
I don't think that JRD was playing and having fun making some crap, and BTW, it is his own server.Nothing other than what's absolutely necessary and once more it seems that we have broken that rule and once more that has gotten us into trouble. The repositories are not a playground.
He knows what he has done wrong and already apologized, no need to publicly yell at him.
Everybody can make a mistake, I'm sure that even you, can make one, no ?
Best regards.

Seems to be a problem with slapt-get as when I manually removed this packages then manually installed it from slapt cache with installpkg it worked.JRD wrote:About "distribute", I don't know. It's not related to the problem earlier.
Re: 578 Upgrades? [solved]
A problem with spkg then, not with slapt-get.
