Hello.

I installed the claws-mail package from source with upkg, following the instructions in the documentation (creating spec file etc.). As a dependency I had to install libetpan, creating a upkg-package as well. This worked for some weeks.

Now the last upkg-upgrade removed libetpan. I don't know why. Claws-mail doesn't work anymore and complains: "libetpan.so not found." Installing libetpan from source (upkg-install --enable-source) does not work, because upkg says "system already up-to-date" which is not true. upkg-reinstall libetpan does not work, it complains that it does not find the source tarball. But the tarball is there. Upkg-reinstall claws-mail returns "system up-to-date".

Of course I could remove claws mail and then install it, but in this case, which I had before, my mail filters are gone. What can I do?

Best, erch

Do I

So your package is called libetpan
Try this:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
sudo upkg-remove --force libetpan sudo upkg-build --verbose libetpan

Is libetpan a dependency of a spec or not?

If not create a select file so upkg-upgrade won't uninstall it:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
su enter root pw echo "Package: libetpan" > /var/lib/upkg/packages/libetpan.select

If nothing helps install libetpan as usual with configure,make,make install without upkg.

Thanks for your reply.

Libetpan (libetpan.sourceforge.net) is needed as a depencency from claws-mail (www.claws-mail.org). Hmnm, so I just make-install it from source. But is there a way to understand what happens?

I have the package in my local repository, and _had_ it installed with no problem.

Here is the output of upkg:


bash-3.2# upkg-remove --force libetpan
ERROR: Package libetpan not found.
bash-3.2# upkg-build --verbose libetpan
Generating script...

System already up-to-date.

.2# upkg-install --enable-source libetpan
Generating script...
Writing script...
Executing script...
System already up-to-date.
bash-3.2#

Is it because claws-mail is installed (the same, from source) with libetpan as a dependency?

Here is claws-mail.xml (the spec)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package name="claws-mail">

Now do this:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
ls /var/lib/upkg/packages/*ibetpan* sudo rm /var/lib/upkg/packages/*ibetpan* sudo upkg-build --verbose libetpan

Ah! thanks. I'll go into that.
