I get errors when I try to recharge

When I try to do a tazpkg recharge I get errors for each file saying the files exist.

Connecting to mirror.switch.ch (130.59.10.36:80)

wget: can't open 'packages.list': File exists

I am guessing that because of the errors, the files don't get downloaded. Any ideas? The site pings ok.

First output in terminal when you run [c]tazpkg recharge[/c]

Creating backup of the last packages list... [ Done ]

If that fails to rename existing packages.list to packages.list.bak then wget won't overwrite existing file of same name.

Open terminal, login as root.

Type:

[c]pcmanfm[/c]

Hit Enter key

Navigate to /var/lib/tazpkg in pcmanfm

Delete the files that are highlighted in the png

Open another terminal,login as root

[c]tazpkg recharge[/c]

It should download all the files without error.

Go back to pcmanfm and delete the file named ID

To allow recharge delete ID file or you get "Main is up to date"

Rerun

[c]tazpkg recharge[/c]

You should see in terminal output:

Creating backup of the last packages list... [ Done ]

All package*,mirrors,files.list.lzma should download without error.

Yup, that fixed it. Now I have packages there to install, and was able to install one, so I'm good.

Thanks very much, and sorry for the delay trying it.
