eperea -> Problem with pkg_update (Sep. 2, '06, 12:58:53 PM)

I have three installed packages which are not up to date: grep xargs and zlib. Trying to update each individually gives the same errors as using "-a", so I post the latter output:

pkg_update -a

Done.

I thought at first that this was due to the obcaseinsensitive key being missing, but adding it and rebooting (twice) did not help. I am not aware of anything else having changed. Any ideas?

This looks like the same as what gwojan is seeing. To reiterate, I'm not seeing the same problem here, and I can see that other are still running fine. But I may know what's the cause. I'm working up a script to see if that'll clear this up for you.

I've placed a script at ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pub/patchbin for you. Download the script to, say, "/tmp". Then run it ("sh patchbin") as the local administrator or member of the administrators group. Then give it try and do your "pkg_update -a" again.

That works great, thanks!

Okay! Other than a minor "brain cramp" on my part the patch looks like it worked. [:)] So what was the problem and why did it only affect a couple of us? --Greg

Remember you asked me to delete /usr/local/bin/sort ?
Well, doing a pkg_update -a to pick up the new cat:

Done.

linking /bin/sort to /usr/local/bin works, of course.

aahhrrrggg! [:@] There's newer functionality in sort from here over the CD version to sort out version numbering (no, no pun). The full path is to avoid order mixups in PATH. Fortunately it's just in beta... I was really close to posting it live. Thanks for the test. I'm adjusting the package to cover both points with a symlink (as you just did). I'll post the update to beta for a while.
