Did I find a bug? Tiny core 9 / 32 bit Gdisk lib missing

[reg]

Howdy!

I hope I put this in the right place. 

A while back I installed gdisk as I wanted to use an external HDD that was larger than ~1.5TB.  At that point in time I had gdisk working, but I needed a different external USB enclosure to handle the large capacity drive.

The new enclosure came in the other day and I have just had time to sit down and play with putting the disk in it.

Now when I run gdisk I get the following generic error:

Already loaded. Call from regular menu or terminal.

I figured somehow I managed to bust the package, though truthfully the system has been sitting untouched until just recently.  I went through the tce-audit builddb and tce-audit delete gdisk and a bunch of reboots and tce let me install it again.  I kind of screwed up a bit on that install, the account I used was not in the sudoers file, and I got an error about not being able to write to /tmp/appserr.  The fun just never stops (smile) so another round of builddb and delete and this time I made sure that the account that I ran tce from was in the sudoers file.  The install ran perfectly clean, no errors reported.  When I went to run gdisk I got an error though:

libicuio.so.51 not found

I ran ldd on the gdisk binary and found a couple:

tc@san:/usr/local/bin$ ldd gdisk
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xb7f17000)
        libicuio.so.51 => not found
        libicuuc.so.51 => not found
        libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0xb7f08000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7de4000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7d2d000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7d17000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7bee000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7bd6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f18000)

I was not successful in figuring out what package those libraries belong to, but as far as I can tell I have all the dependencies installed for gdisk.

After a reboot, apparently the package manager knows something is amiss because the links in /usr/local/bin to all of the binaries in the gdisk package are broken. 

Any help with this would really be appreciated.  I am new to tinycore so it I seem a bit crude, I am, but I am really trying to get into the swing of it.

Hi reg
Try installing  icu.tcz.

[Juanito]

The dep file for gdisk is as follows:

Code: [Select]

$ cat gdisk.tcz.dep
...
popt.tcz
icu.tcz
ncurses5.tcz
If you downloaded and loaded the gdisk extension using either the gui apps program or the command "tce-load -wil gdisk", the icu extension would have been loaded automatically.

Note that, if you would like an extension to be automatically loaded after re-boot, you need to use the apps gui too add it "onboot", otherwise you will need to load the extension again manually.

Hi reg
The  .dep  file lists the following:

Code: [Select]

popt.tcz
icu.tcz
ncurses5.tczso  icu.tcz  should have been installed.

Yes, I just discovered that.  I have icu, that came with gdisk.  I noticed that there is v6 and v5.  I am wondering if somehow my system grabbed v6.  I am in the process of getting rid of gdisk once again and I will install ice v5 first and see.

The extensions have different names (icu62.tcz vs. icu.tcz) so they can't get mixed up.

Thank you as always for your help.  Somehow the db got very confused.  I re-installed gdisk again and got the same results.  Next time around after a couple of reboots I went and started looking for any pieces of the packages and I discovered that for some reason ICU was not being totally removed.  I manually removed all the pieces and re-installed and all is happy now.  So, it was not a broken dependency but something broken in my db.  I still think the db may have issues, but I got the disk partitioned and mounted.  Yahoo.  Thanks again!
