Thank you

Hi.  Which extra repo are you using in /opt/debextra for firefox so I can try to reproduce?  Thanks.

[Jason W]

Hi.  I used the PPA:

sce-ppa-add  ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next

Which gave the entry in /opt/debextra named "/opt/debextra/mozillateam-firefox-next-main"

It's contents are:

Code: [Select]

http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu bionic main

I imported firefox, then changed the md5sum data of the firefox package in firefox.sce, and repacked firefox.sce. 

I ran sce-update on firefox.sce, and it listed an update in /tmp/updateavailable as below:

Code: [Select]

====  firefox updates  ====
firefox    http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu bionic main


With your extra repo entry, I will test it also.  Thanks.

Hi, did you use "sce-update -f" option, as that is the full check.  Without the -f option, sce-update stops checking and marks an SCE for update at the first found update needed.  The missing or added dependencies are an exception, they list all needed. 

To save confusion, the quick check option perhaps should not write anything to /tmp/updateavailable except noting the quick check is being used and no updates are going to be listed.  If one is interested in seeing available updates of packages inside an sce, -f then can be used.

Hello Jason,
I didn't use the "-f" option, so now I understand.
If the "-f" option is not used on top of updateavailable it can be written that only the first package is listed
