when I try to install OR upgrade (packages) I get this:
[root@utilitop:~]# upkg-install emacs

The same error occurs if i do upkg-upgrade as well.
I tried flushing my cache (deleting /var/cache/upkg/*) AND doing upkg-upgrade right after with no luck. Any ideas? |

When I log in as root, I never can get my net connection working, with Paldo. Maybe, you can, but just double check.
I never installed as root, but I cannot say that it is not possible. Anyway, just in case, try to install under your regular user account. |

Mitglied Posts: 73 Registered: 2009-07-15 | I'm using this build:
Latest x86_64 stable Live CD
Image Size: 698 MB
Build Date: 2010-04-03 13:50 GMT
Build Host: buildd3.paldo.org
http://www.paldo.org/paldo-live-cd-x86_64-stable.iso.md5
I'v installed hundreds of packages at Paldo, without a miss.
I use to clear the upkg cache in the following way:
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/upkg
[manpal@gigapal:~]$ sudo upkg-install emacs
Generating script...
Writing script...
Executing script...
The following extra packages will be installed:
emacs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
Installing emacs-22.3-1 (stable)...
[manpal@gigapal:~]$
If you still cannot do it, maybe Diogo or Juerg, may come here to rescue you.
Good Luck

Well, 3l3vans,
For installing purposes, it's supposed to be absolutely the same thing.
All I notice is a slight performance increase in some applications, and that is the only reason why I use a 64 bit iso. Here at Paldo, or at any distro I decided to try.
I understand that a distro that doesn't allow to install software, is a failed distro for it's user, and that is sad, as (in my opinion) so far, Paldo is the best distro in the world.
Anyway, I'm not an expert. In fact, I'm a noob.
If you still want to give it a chance, wait a couple of days for another answer, or even PM Diogo, as he is one of the Paldo's expert. |

I really dig its simplicity. |

Mitglied Posts: 73 Registered: 2009-07-15 | "I really dig its simplicity." I agree.
I sticked with Paldo after I tried dozens of distros.
For one or other reason, most of them easy come and easy gone.
In the meanwhile, Paldo remained for months. Always stable, reliable, fast, and often very up to date. And although excellent, it still has plenty of room to improve.
No surprise that slowly I got accustomed to it, and my best wish is that their owners will be kind enough to keep it available to everybody. |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 24 Registered: 2008-11-03 | Some questions!
How did you delete your cache?
Did you used rm -rf /var/cache/upkg?
Did you build a package yourself?
Do you have your own local paldo repo?
