 Troubles with upkg and compiz-fusion | |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 28 Registered: 2008-05-12 | Sorry, another question: When I wanted to upgrade Paldo with the upkg-upgrade command, it always wanted to install the compiz-fusion extra packages. I was very annoyed by this and deleted the spec-file in /var/cache/upkg/www.paldo.org_paldo/specs/ and the script file assuming that this will help. But unfortunately it did not: Contrariwise upkg does not work anymore:
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | [debianux@paldo-laptop:~]$ upkg-upgrade
Generating script...
Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/var/cache/upkg/www.paldo.org_paldo/specs/compiz-fusion.xml" is denied.

Junior Mitglied Posts: 28 Registered: 2008-05-12 | Sorry, I am an idiot! But upkg still wants to install compiz-fusion:
| Code | [In neuem Fenster öffnen] | | [debianux@paldo-laptop:~]$ sudo upkg-upgrade
Generating script...
Writing script...
Executing script...
The following extra packages will be installed:
compiz compiz-bcop compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra libcompizconfig compizconfig-backend-gconf Pyrex compizconfig-python ccsm emerald emerald-themes compiz-manager
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] |
I always have to say no respectively to enter “n”. |

Moderator Linux-Dude Posts: 1187 Registered: 2006-11-23 | If you install a package you generate a select-file so it will be still installed.
Example: you install smplayer a frontend for mplayer so smplayer gets a select-file. smplayer.xml is in this case the "meta-spec". If you want to uninstall mplayer for example upkg will block this, cos smplayer depend on mplayer. If you delete the select-file and uninstall mplayer smplayer will be broken, cos mplayer is missing. select-files are some kind of protection of upkg. |
