Dropbear package update is always offered

Every time a package update is checked, a dropbear package update is suggested.

info:

***** dropbear - Main repo - version 2022.83 -> 2024.86

***** 3.16.55-slitaz #4 i686

After a package update is performed, the package remains in the list of suggested packages to update.

Removing the package does not help, it appears in the update list again.

Please suggest what is the possible solution?

It seems you have an installed package that provide [c]dropbear[/c]

Please copy/paste the entire return of

TNX, Ceel.

Answer is

Warning! Cyclic dependency between "dropbear-pam" and "dropbear-pam"

Packet "dropbear-pam" (2024.86) is installed.

The problem remains.

Sorry for the mistakes, I'm writing from memory from another computer.

Re: Dropbear package update is always offered

Your issue looks like this one: https://forum.slitaz.org/topic/dependency-loop-on-packages.

I guess you installed a package that has [c]pam[/c] as dependence.

Then at the following update some [c]*-pam[/c] have been installed.

You can check this in your [c]tazpkg.log[/c].

If it's the case, remove all the [c]*-pam[/c] packages and add them manually in [c]/var/lib/tazpkg/blocked-packages.list[/c].

I think this is the right decision.

Tnx, Ceel, I'll try to do it a little later.

Unfortunately, I don't have time now.

Then I'll post the result here.

Re: Dropbear package update is always offered

I solved the problem this way:

   1. Downloaded both files "dropbear-2024.86.tazpkg" and "dropbear-pam-2024.86" from the repo ".../slitaz/packages/5.0".

   2. Reinstalled these files via tazpkg in consol.

Now installed:

dropbear        2024.86

dropbear-pam    2024.86

Update works ok without any abnormal messages.

For info:

The file "blocked-packages.list" was checked before reinstalling Dropbear and was found to be empty.
