Issue when downloading and installing packages

Using slitaz 5.0 RC4 rev 2017-01-15

When installing with tazpkg -gi <package> the download % progress is shown only when package finished downloading and it's beginning to install. I notice in the % progress that the download of a package often began with 0%, with some pack of Kb downloaded at this point.

Until now packages seem to have been correctly downloaded and installed despite this issue when it happens, but I would like to be more sure. Is this an issue I need to worry about? If it happens, should I better uninstall and download/install package again?

Or no problem at all?

Re: Issue when downloading and installing packages

Hi,

Tis issue was fixed 7 month ago, in the tazpkg revision 938.

Notes to the rev. 937:

modules/get: make wget progress metter working again

Now, Busybox v. 1.26 make the difference whether it outputs progress meter to the file or to the tty (libbb/progress.c).

Bug report: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/two-issues-with-tazpkg-934

Life goes on.

But SliTaz 5RC4 is never be something else... Use Rolling! (weekly)
