Downgrade?

[chakuari]

Hello!

I noticed a strange behaviour after having upgraded Salix 13.37 (XFCE edition) to 14 following the instructions on the site: sometimes Gslapt tells me there are updates to do, but when I click on the window to see which are those packages I see that the proposed update is in reality a downgrade, and for a lot of packages (23, from xorg to curl to perl and php... a total of 52 Mb). I tried once to do as proposed, and obviously after a while the program proposed the real update.

I now use OpenBox instead of XFCE, but today this problem has risen again. Here is a screenshot:

I can confirm this behavior with Salix 13.1. I also sometimes get a proposal for false upgrades. But I never got false upgrade for 14.

Post the contents of your /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc

I can confirm both these behaviors here on my 14.0 64 bit install. The other day got an update notification with ~ 26 updates. Seemed strange to me so I ignore them, assuming that it was a repo glitch. Then this morning got a update notification and when I check it said no upgrades available. This happen again this evening. Here's my slapt-getrc:

Code: Select all

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get

Mine looks similar:

Code: Select all

# Working directory for local storage/cache.
WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get

# Exclude package names and expressions.
# To exclude pre and beta packages, add this to the exclude: 
#   [0-9\_\.\-]{1}pre[0-9\-\.\-]{1}
EXCLUDE=^aaa_elflibs,^aaa_base,^devs,^glibc-.*,^kernel-.*,^udev,^rootuser-settings,^zzz-settings,.*-[0-9]+dl$,-x86_64-

This seems to be an issue with the slackware mirrors (again). It seems that sometimes the /patches dir is not taken into account while syncing. I'll see if there is anything we can do.

Here is mine:
