coreplayer2:
Out of curiosity I ran tce-update today.  the update script proceeded to download
"xf86-video-all.tcz"  ok but did I need it is a question?

Later I ran tce-update again, this time update proceeded to download all 34 video dependents of "xf86-video-all.tcz" ??
Did I need these too is another question?  I mean I didn't need them before right?  none of these extensions have been loaded on subsequent reboots.

Core (from CorePlus) with flwm_topside +Xvesa + Xprogs + wbar


UPDATE**   I found that "Xorg-7.6.tcz" lists "xf86-video-all.tcz" as a dependency??

appsaudit does not report any missing deps, only tce-update indicates the missing deps. and downloads them all.

Juanito:
As the xf86-video-all info file says, it's a meta-extension for all of the video drivers.

Once you've figured out which driver you need, you could edit the xf86-video-all dep file to only list your particular video driver and mark the rest for deletion with apps audit.

coreplayer2:
Ah ha!  ok thx, well I did already delete them all and no app when run from the terminal are complaining..  neither are there any relevant dmesg errors.  so I guess i'll continue without them.

dmesg | grep -n -i -C 3 video   returns only "Boot Video Device"  (no errors)  :)

caminati:
I wasted some time to understand that fluxbox.tcz.zsync is wrong on the internet repo, so that any attempt to update fluxbox failed.
I had to force tce-update not to use zsync, and it worked.
I regard this as a disrupting problem, maybe tce-update could be modified so to handle these situations more wisely: it should not rely on the repository inner consistency.

Re; fluxbox.tcz.zync
Corrected. Will ignore flame bait.
