Upgrades Fail

Greetings Slitazlings.

After an apparently normal update Sept 4, Tazpanel fails all new upgrades.  On boot, it identifies new available upgrades as usual, but when I click the button, a mostly empty page says "Message Corrupt".

I don't know WHICH message is corrupt.

Can anyone help me fix this so I can stay up-to-date?

I'm running a persistent Live-USB stick installation of Rolling 32-bit, today on a 14-yr-old Toshiba C650 laptop that it usually runs fine on.

But I get the same result no matter what machine I boot it in.

Re: Upgrades Fail

I found package issue.

I check if tazpanel is root cause (cp -a /var/www/tazpanel /var/www/tazpanel-old), it's not him.

I block slitaz-base-files, <= right it's this package impacted.

Step i do :

- save slitaz-base-files (343)

- unblock slitaz-base-files

- upgrade it (344) => issue on tazpanel

- copy slitaz-base-files to /, tazpzanel come back

Edit it's seem related to commit that fix typo, but in case seem broken

Re: Upgrades Fail

I fix issue on slitaz-base-files, update available tomorrow.

For upgrade slitaz-base-files without Tazpanel you need do [c]tazpkg up -r[/c] in terminal "Applications > System tools > Sakura

Or quick fix it's to edit /usr/lib/slitaz/httphelper.sh and add miss '\' at line 37

-e "s|\"|%22|g; s|`|%60|g"

-e "s|\"|%22|g; s|\`|%60|g"

Package fixed available here

Re: Upgrades Fail

shann;

Wow!  That was fast!  Problem solved.

Thanks very much for your prompt attention.

Slitaz is a great little system with great support team.

You gave me several choices of ways to fix - which I found very interesting - and they showed me enough to do slightly different approach but I think is basically same solution.

I chose since I am more comfortable with command line than with editing config files.

Once I used "sudo tazpkg get-install slitaz-base-files --forced" everything worked again.

Thanks again!

Re: Upgrades Fail

Hi Slizzard,

No problem, you're welcome

[c]sudo tazpkg get-install slitaz-base-files --forced[/c]

Yes this command could be use to upgrade/reinstall slitaz-base-files only
