Title: [SOLVED] Updating expat2.tcz failed
Post by: philip on April 24, 2014, 03:24:38 PM

In TC 5.3, running the GUI AppBrowser and requesting
 Apps -> Maintenance -> Check for Updates
I am encouraged to update expat2.tcz, but then the operation always fails. For me, this issue has been ongoing for several weeks. Unfortunately I don't know how to diagnose the cause, or suggest a solution. Can someone else help fix this?

There are several things you can try.
Check MD5 sums.
Update Deps.
install missing deps.

I have this issue sometimes, too. I guess it's due to my rather crappy internet connection (via USB modem).

You can fetch failing extensions via wget:

Code: [Select]

ce
cd /optional
wget -c http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/expat2.tcz
wget -c http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/expat2.tcz.dep
wget -c http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/expat2.tcz.info
wget -c http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/expat2.tcz.md5.txt

Then check if there are any dependencies:

Code: [Select]

cat expat2.tcz.dep

The zsync file of expat2 was out of date. Fixed.

Thanks, Curaga. Now it works for me. (Gerald, of course I had tried all those wise suggestions before posting.  ;) )
