Warning of several errors as slackpkg ran under full install of slackware live DAW
I have just installed slackware64-live-daw-15.0 and proceeded to update with:
Code:
slackpkg update as below: Code:
Press SPACE for more, ENTER to skip I suspect this may not be serious but I felt obliged to inform. P.S. : In retrospect, I just became aware that I jumped over Code:
slackpkg update gpg I have now done: Code:
root@esprimo_Q:~# slackpkg update gpg |
I always run, on both 15.0 and -current (but I don’t run live-daw), in this order:
Code:
slackpkg update You shouldn’t need to run Code:
slackpkg update gpg When I get md5 errors, I reinstall each of the packages individually until there are no more errors: Code:
slackpkg reinstall package-name.txz I’m not sure why that list of errors shows up. A guess: maybe you were upgrading packages while your mirror was syncing, or something glitched while the download was happening. Someone who knows can give you a better answer. I blacklist the kernel packages and download them and do that upgrade manually with installpkg and upgradepkg. Edit: fredmyra, I edited to elaborate on how I go about upgrading kernel packages, and why I don't use slackpkg for kernel upgrades, but unfortunately I didn't save a copy of my text, and Cloudflare stepped in and clobbered my edit when I tried to save it. If you're interested, I'll rewrite my edit. TheTKS |

@fredmyra, I'm just getting back to this now as the past couple of months have been a little trying.
I rediscovered posts I had already written, so I will just link those here with a couple of notes & updates: - I use the generic kernel - Those links refer to Slackware 14.2, but the steps work the same on 15.0, with one addition: the geninitrd command can be used in place of the mkinitrd generator steps. https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6269435 https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6269436 - Nowadays, instead of upgrading the headers and firmware with # slackpkg upgrade, I download those also (and verify with gpg) and then upgrade them as, for example, Code:
# upgradepkg kernel-headers-5.15.145-x86-1.txz kernel-firmware-20231222_a7dee43-noarch-1.txz - In those posts, I mentioned doing other package updates before the kernel updates, but I don't know if order matters as long as you keep packages (kernel and other) fairly up to date. In -current, I don't upgrade the kernel every time a new set is released, but do keep other packages pretty up to date (at least every time any update is flagged as a security fix.) In -current, I sometimes fall behind as as far as two kernel updates. That seems not to have caused me problems, but I wouldn't advise anyone else to rely on that, and on 15.0 I always update the kernel packages at the first opportunity. |
@TheTKS: kind of you to remember and take your time. Much appreciated. It will take me some time to read and digest all of it, I am also under pressure.
I think it would be right to mark this as solved. Thank you so much! |
