PKGget thinks x11-xserver-utils not installed

February 14, 2026 — BarryK

It is installed, but PKGget thinks not; Caramel reported this.

'x11-xserver-utils' and 'acpi-support' were compiled by me, to reduce dependencies, as reported here:

In woofQ2, there is a file 'pkgs-installed.txt' created, that has these two listed; however the script '3post-populate-rootfs' cannot find them in the the Devuan package database, due to different version numbers, so leaves them out of /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages.

This does need some more consideration, but I have implemented a quick hack in '3post-populate-rootfs' to find the package entry with different version number and put it into 'woof-installed-packages'. PKGget will then know it is installed.
