"slapt-src -U" doesn't install the latest version available in SBo

[malagasy]

Hello All,

I am trying to update two the of the applications I installed from SBo.

These are the version installed on my machine,
zoom 5.17.1
slack 4.35.131

But SBo has newer versions:
zoom-linux:5.17.5.2543
slack:4.35.140

For now, these are just minor version, and causes me no issue for now. But I am afraid in the further that I won't be able to update these apps.

I already tried with
slapt-src -u
slapt-src -U

It is showing me that these packages are available for upgrade, but once the command "slapt-src -U" finished running, then nothing is updated. I also tried with "slapt-src -i zoom-linux slack", but no luck.

I am not sure what I missed. If there's no other option, then I will remove and try to reinstall these packages. Though, waiting for your wise advice before doing so

Sorry, but it's not obvious from your post. Are you using sudo to run these commands?

In any case, my advise for these would be just to install the flatpaks.

Hello gapan,

Thanks for your answer. I tried installing few apps with flatpak, and I am not very satisfied with the result. For example, with zoom when I receive an invite, the web URL can't open the app. With the app downloaded from SBo, there's no issue at all.
Sorry if I was not very specific with my post, but yes, I am using sudo

I re-run the update, and it looks like the signature doesn't match

Ah, so that's a problem with SBo. Zoom has updated the tarball, but SBo hasn't caught up with the change (yet? ). If you download it and build the package manually using the slackbuild script it will work of course. Perhaps a --no-md5 option in slapt-src would have been useful in cases like these.

About zoom, this seems to be a known issue with the flatpak: https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/issues/445

Issue fixed, and the solution was from this topic

I need to run "slapt-src --clean" first, before the upgrade. Thanks again for the help.
