Problem with Tazpkg

!! WARNING !! Those who might burst their arteries by reading the contents of this post advised not to read it. And NO, it is not another hacking story!!

***************************************************************************************************

I did a package update via Tazpanel and since then I was not able to download any packages via Tazpanel or via command line. It turned out the previous update updated Tazpkg which was causing the problem.

Command line use of tazpkg returned following error.

root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg search-pkgname murrine

/usr/bin/tazpkg: .: line 26: can't open '/usr/lib/tazpkg/tazpkg-find-depends'

Opened /usr/bin/tazpkg and edited line 26 to point to find-depends as follows;

. /usr/libexec/tazpkg/find-depends

and now tazpkg works OK.

Just for information for those non-experts like myself as a quick and dirty fix till this issue is fixed.

Thanks folks.

Re: Problem with Tazpkg

Oh dear me!! I just realised that I have made yet another blunder. This issue was already discussed and a solution found by Alexej on another post

My apologies Alexej - did not mean to steal your thunder.

@gdesilva

Many thank's,

I've been in the same case with the usually common line command under root "tazpkg recharge" and if necessary "tazpkg up".

Your topic with the clever links pointed to Slitaz members solve the problem.

[Edit]

Precisely, this one from Aleksej (many thank's too

Hi Ceel,

Oh, I'm so sorry

Everyone who installed tazpkg-824 need to fix it manually.

Package tazpkg-825 fixed, but you can't install it yet.

Steps to fix tazpkg:

    Open terminal.

    Become super user using command "su" and root's password (type "s", then "u", then "Enter", then blindly type super user password (it is root by default), then press "Enter")

    Open tazpkg script in the nano text editor:

    nano -w /usr/bin/tazpkg

    Scroll down to the line 26 and change it's content:

    . /usr/lib/tazpkg/tazpkg-find-depends

    into

    . /usr/libexec/tazpkg/find-depends

    To save changes press two keys in the same time: Ctrl and letter O, then press Enter

    To exit press two keys in the same time: Ctrl and X

    Close terminal
