permanent upgrade

[tedtedted]

I have installed the Skype for my little sister. With this program come some libraries. And they want to upgrade themselves. OK, but they require this any times by day, the same files every times. I click OK, and it answers me that it is OK, library is upgraded. But in some hours it requires the same upgrade. What may all this mean? Sorry my French

What libraries? How did you install skype? If you give no information, you'll get no answers.

I have installed it by the Gslapt program. The permanent file excluded is glibc 2.17-i486-10_Slack14.1
The permanent file to upgrade is speex(1.2rc1-i486-3_Sbo) ---> 1.2r1-i486-1tm

Glibc is excluded and that is correct. You can upgrade it with

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i glibc 

And how did you ever install that speex package? Just let it be upgraded.

Thank you. Upgraded glibc. As for the speex, I don't install it. I have installed it once with the Skype, as it came with the Skype. And now it permanently proposes me to upgrade the speex, and I answer OK, and it says "OK, upgraded", and later proposes me the same upgrade... I described this in the first message. Let us see, may be after the glibc upgraded all this stops?

So you say. But you're not showing us anything. And you certainly did not get that speex package using spi or slapt-get or slapt-src or gslapt or sourcery. None of the ways that salix provides for installing software that is. You did that manually, either your understood it, or not. One of your next posts will be something like "oh, right, I had forgotten I had done that...", or "I didn't realize..."

I did it using Gslapt from the Salix menu (System - Administration - Gslapt Package Manager) as it proposed me when installing Skype. The problem continues. I've found the 1.2r1-i486-1tm in the list of Gslapt, tried to install and the problem is the same. Now I will try to do it by a program you say previously, let us see the result.

The question is how did you install speex-1.2rc1-i486-3_SBo? You didn't install that with gslapt.

Post the output of

Code: Select all

ls /var/log/packages/speex-*

Yes. My mistake. It was not done with Gslapt, and even not with the Skype. But the Gslapt proposed upgrade. Now does not, as I've uninstalled speex and installed it newly. So has been resolved the problem. Thank you for the help. I'd never had idea but your comments.
