Discrepancy between Apps and tce-update

[zrudyt]

Today, I ran Apps and did a Maintenance --> Check for Updates. It found one, `libxml2`, and when I told it to go ahead, it updated a long list of packages. I rebooted and checked for updates again (just to be sure) and predictably got the following output from Apps:

Please Standby... Now checking your extensions.
Scan for updates completed.

Looks good!  Then for good measure, I tried to run `tce-update` from the shell prompt and surprisingly got a different result:

Checking Tiny Core Applications in /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional
Fetching required dependency: libinput.tcz md5sum: can't open 'xf86-input-libinput.tcz': No such file or directory
Failed
Errors occurred during upgrade. Press Enter to see /tmp/upgrade_errors.lst

When I hit Enter, I got:

Error occurred while fetching dependency: libinput.tcz

And when I hit [q], the message was inconsistent with the above error:

Your system is up-to-date.
Press [Enter] key.

Shouldn't an Apps update give the same results as `tce-update`, and why does `tce-update` complain about an error, then say all is good?

Hi zrudyt

... Shouldn't an Apps update give the same results as `tce-update` ...

Apps update executes this command:

Code: [Select]

tce-update list /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/
What command did you execute?

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

I just ran the basic `tce-update` with no flags, which from reading the source of the script, launches 'easy mode'.

When I run your exact command, everything works perfectly. Shouldn't 'easy mode' assume a standard config (which I have) and behave the same? I'm not trying to be confrontational - I'm just trying to understand since I'm primarily a console guy.

Hi zrudyt

No need to explain. I've always used the Apps update, so I'm not familiar
with how 'easy mode' works.
