Spup dependencies bug fix

June 26, 2010 — BarryK
I already mentioned this bug. The dependency information for Slackware packages is in some cases incorrect. Dash characters were removed from the lists of dependencies, for example package 'glibc-solibs' was changed to 'glibcsolibs' in the package database.
This caused the Package Manager to say there are missing dependencies when there aren't.

The bug was in the '0setup' script, now fixed.

Thank you for Spup

I see the new kernel, and maybe I missed this before, but you've incorporated www.stabellini.net for dependency checking of Slackware packages in PPM, along with a caution in DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS about verifying that the site has updated when upgrading to a later version of Slackware. I didn't know about that repo's dependency info--thank you and well done Barry!"27 Jun 2010, 6:22"01681"71.115.243.18'code"aarf"is it a simple fix that we can use and then test?"27 Jun 2010, 11:31"01681"183.88.113.186'0setup simple fix"BarryK"Yes, I just added a '-' into line 346: [i] DB_dependencies="`echo -n "$DB_ONELINE" | grep -o ' PACKAGE REQUIRED: .* PACKAGE ' | sed -e 's% PACKAGE %%' | cut -f 2-99 -d ' ' | sed -e 's% [^,]*%%g' | sed -e 's%,%,+%g' | sed -e 's/[^0-9a-zA-Z.+_=,[b]-[/b]]//g'`" #100626[/i] Username: 27 Jun 2010, 11:50

The fix is only relevant for people using Woof to build an Spup. Other Spup users will have to wait for the next release of Spup. Username: 27 Jun 2010, 18:18
