@pansko Nevermind, figured out what i was doing wrong

Edit: wow this is way better than the package manager, but man you weren't kidding about the number of updates hahaha

Re: Packages check updates - issue with Tazpkg

@pankso,

Not really understand all your explanation RSUM/md5 (sorry, i’m not a dev). Is RSUM something knew ?

I’d just wanted to understand why [c]tazpkg[/c] worked till these last days and suddenly not. As I told to you by PM, something must have changed in [c]tazpkg[/c] or elsewhere to break [c]tazpkg[/c]?

Re: Packages check updates - issue with Tazpkg

@pankso

Good morning.

Just redirected to the new indicated mirror as instructed on mirror.slitaz.org (echo "https://mirror.slitaz.org/i486/cooking/packages/"   > /var/lib/tazpkg/mirror")

Updates are working fine again using spk-tui.

There's one package not upgrading: cookutils   ---> Edit: just did an update, cookutils upgraded now but the system booted to a tty, user login doesn't work anymore, root login works. Using startx as root leads to black screen. Will reinstall Slitaz maybe later, hope this get solved soon.

Spk itself after upgrade still shows version 2.0 instead of 2.2, not a big problem but a bit confusing.

Just wanted to inform you on this.

Uploading a screenshot (.jpg file in my case smaller than 2Mib) to the forum doesn't seem to work, not sure why but a popup screen appears stating: "Invalid format of picture. Or the server doesn't support processing of pictures. (Graphics library type not defined)

Thanks,
cg5216

Re: Packages check updates - issue with Tazpkg

HI,

First off - Your feedback is gold, thank you so much!

Upgrading cookutils lead you to a blank screen, that's crazy! Sorry about that, do you have more details ? Tries on my side to reproduce without getting the same issue. Let me know if if simply reinstall or if you have more error logs.

Spk was 2.3 was relesased, hopefully it will solve this version number issue and everything else.

Still getting my hands on this new forum, jpg file should be availaible. I will check that.

Thanks to YOU.
Chris
