Starting with sbopkg version 0.0.8, there is a feature that displays
|
||||
potential updates to SBo packages installed on a user's system. This
|
||||
feature is still a work in progress, and bugs are expected. Most bugs
|
||||
will manifest themselves as either (a) missing updates -- those
|
||||
updates that should appear in the list but do not or (b) false
|
||||
positives -- updates listed in the list that are not really updates at
|
||||
all. If you run into either of these problems, please do the
|
||||
following in order to assist with bug-reporting:
|
||||
|
||||
As a root user, please open up /usr/bin/sbopkg in your favorite text
|
||||
editor and uncomment the following line in the "Variables" section
|
||||
near the top of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
#UPDATE_DEBUG="1"
|
||||
|
||||
so that it looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
UPDATE_DEBUG="1"
|
||||
|
||||
Then, save the file and rerun sbopkg. Please select the update
|
||||
feature as normal and then exit sbopkg. A permanent log of the update
|
||||
list will now be saved in $TMP/sbopkg-debug-updatelist. Please
|
||||
forward this log to me via email to chess@chessgriffin.com or post in
|
||||
the sbopkg mailing list, which can be found at the project's homepage:
|
||||
http://code.google.com/p/sbopkg.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have forwarded or copied the log to a safe location, feel
|
||||
free to comment out that single line in /usr/bin/sbopkg again, which
|
||||
will then disable the creation of the permanent update log, keeping
|
||||
your $TMP clean. Of course, leaving the line uncommented is fine as
|
||||
well and will create a new $TMP/sbopkg-debug-updatelist each time the
|
||||
update feature is used.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for your help!
