in [Slackware]

From: ciol on 20 Jan 2008 10:21 Hi, if /var/log/packages has only one package (the one we want to remove), removepkg will stay for eternity at the line: cat_except $ADM_DIR/packages $PKGNAME | sort -u > $TMP/required_list$$ ciao. -- On dira ce qu'on voudra, j'�tais pas un petit loubard comme les autres.

Slackware can't but Gniarf Linux can. -- On dira ce qu'on voudra, j'�tais pas un petit loubard comme les autres. (Rocky)

How exactly are you running Slackware with just this one package in place? You mentioned something about an additional Linux distribution, so the waters are exceptionally muddy at the moment. There's no way for u to replicate the bug, since as another poster pointed out, Slackware shouldn't even be running with only a single package installed (that package would have to be pkgtools after all, if you have removepkg installed). - -- It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, Than for a man to hear the song of fools.
