package manager connection terminated

Hi all

I just installed slitaz 5.0 rc2 on an acer and I am getting this error when I attempt to open the package manager

"Connection Terminated Unexpectedly"  I get the same error when I attempt to use the tazpanel. I

I did install gimp manually via tazpkg, but when I attempt to open it, nothing happens.  This might be a separate issue altogether, but I thought it might be related.

I did see this when I attempted to use open it from the terminal

/usr/bin/tazpkg-box: .: line 101: can't open '/tmp/tazpkg-box/4123/receipt'

Any thoughts?

Re: package manager connection terminated

The download of the tazpkg your trying to install from the mirror has failed. When you get errors using tazpkg-box and tazpanel packages use tazpkg in the terminal to post useful debugging output.

If your having problems installing packages the gimp install is likely broken.

Open terminal

Type

gimp

Hit Enter

Post the errors if gimp won't launch.

Ok;

I reinstalled tazpanel and now I got that part solved.  Now as for gimp,  I get this

[c]gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: g_option_context_parse_strv[/c]

Re: package manager connection terminated

Gimp runs good on full updated 5.0/cooking.

Check the installed versions of these programs on your system that gimp is linked against in this output:

tux@slitaz:~ $ gimp -v

Re: package manager connection terminated

Yes sir that worked

As it happened, when I ran the command, it seemed to update about 200+ packages.  Wow!

Thanx Mojo!
