My package manager will not work now

I have 3.0 slitaz installed. And it upgraded.

Now I can not find the tazpkg manager.

Any idea where it went?

Re: My package manager will not work now

Slitaz-3.0 software is no longer being fixed/updated

You may have installed packages from stable 4.0 repo which leads to many problems.

It's not worth the time or effort to fix it.

The contents of /etc/slitaz-release determines which repo tazpkg downloads from.

Slitaz-4.0 was released on April 10, 2012 it became stable repo.

Slitaz-3.0 repo switched from stable to 3.0

Slitaz-3.0 users must change tazpkg to 3.0 repo:

# [c]tazpkg set-release 3.0[/c]

tux@slitaz:~$ cat /etc/slitaz-release

Should return:

3.0

If it returns:

stable

Download/install Slitaz-4.0

I reinstalled. I'm trying to install flashplugin-nonfree now.

There is no flashplugin-nonfree. I had to install 4.0 by way of choosing language then followed the instructions and it booted to the desktop. But to install flash I did it this way:

tazpkg get-install flash-plugin and it will install 11

Re: My package manager will not work now

Do you even read the replies you get? Didn't I already say SliTaz isn't based on Debian and thus doesn't follow Debian's naming conventions? I also explictly said there was no flashplugin-nonfree...

There is two reasons I and several other people have stopped helping you: You. Do. Not. Listen. And. Spam. Post. To. Irrelevant. (old) Threads.

Yes I know there is no flashplugin-nonfree. That was just a remark to let others know that to get flash 11 is to type tazpkg get-install flash-plugin and it installs flash player 11

So does installing http://trixarian.net/downloads/flash-plugin.tazpkg - which also installs it and never fails to work because it's the actual file.

Re: My package manager will not work now

Well I will have to discontue to use slitaz for my wifes laptop.

Can't get the wireless to work. I'm running livecd now on it.

But debian will have to go back on here sense I can't open

tazpanel on the installed slitaz 4.0. To bad, I like it.

It is staying on my desktop though.

tazpkg get-install flash worked for me. But people will

know the correct way of doing it now.

I will have to run a wired cable to the bedroom so I can keep slitaz on her laptop.
