[SOLVED]Two versions of slapt-get etc installed

[rsal]

I searched for 'slapt' in gslapt and found that I have 2 versions each of glapt, slapt-get, slapt-src and sourcery installed:

Code: Select all

gslapt versions:    0.5.3i-i486-1gv and 0.5.3h-i486-1gv
slapt-get versions: 0.10.2p-i486-2gv and 0.10.2o-i486-1gv
slapt-src versions: 0.3.2e-i486-2gv and 0.3.2e-i486-1gv
sourcery versions:  0.9.2-noarch-1gv and 0.9-noarch-1gv

Fortunately, only one version of slapt-update-notifier (ver 0.6.0-noarch-1gv) is installed! Do I need to remove some of these packages? Thanks for your help.

First of all, you can only end up with something like this only if you install packages manually using installpkg. There is no way to do it if you just use slapt-get or install things manually with spkg.

That said, it's not really a big problem. The only thing that might be wrong, is if you have manually installed the older version over the new er one, overwriting it. Not a big deal, but you're using the older version when you don't have to. To fix it, you need to remove the old version, specifying the complete package name and then reinstall the package from the repos. Here's what you should do for slapt-get, do the same with any other:

Code: Select all

spkg -d slapt-get-0.10.2o-i486-1gv
slapt-get --reinstall -i slapt-get

Thanks. These commands worked well. I am also removing older packages of gslapt, slapt-src and sourcery.
