Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
Core v6.0rc1

Installed qemu-x86 on v6.0rc1, when run qemu-system-i386 get an error:
--- Quote ---qemu-system-i386: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--- End quote ---
Look like a bug, v6.0 beta doesn't have this issue.

Not exactly sure what was fixed there, but since another thing hit me again, I'd like to suggest that the "Apps" program (and the "tce" command line program) be made more robust against failures of (repo.)tinycorelinux.net. Yesterday wasn't the first time that the server couldn't be reached, and when that happens, a freshly started CorePlus cannot fetch extensions from any mirror, since "Select fastest mirror" fails, if the first mirror "repo.tinycorelinux.net" somehow behaves weird, and a different mirror also cannot be selected manually, since "Select mirror" also fails, because it requires "mirrors.tcz", which cannot be fetched for the reasons mentioned.
Using "wget" and "cat" to simulate a poor man's text browser to find links on web pages to a "mirrors.tcz" that could then be manually copied to /tmp/tce/optional, from where it could be loaded to stop the pain, felt seriously stupid. Maybe "mirrors.tcz" should not be an extension but just part of base. The "links" web browser would also have felt better than the wget-and-cat pain.

Mirrors come and go, so it cannot be part of base.
You can manually edit /opt/tcemirror

Although they do need to be fixed, extensions are not part of the base - nothing much changed in the base between v6.0beta1 and v6.0rc1, so I would presume that something changed in one or more of the extensions concerned.

I compared the installed extensions, no difference found.
