PostPosted: Mon 20 Aug 2012, 00:38    Post subject:  Fprot Updater fails with "expired license key" message
Subject description: As of August 18 , 2012 attempts to update the sigs file with xfprot fail		  
The message is:

"error update server expired license-key"

Judging by messages posted in the fprot forum, it doesn't matter how recent the version of Fprot for Linux is, they are all affected by this failure, including those just downloaded and installed.

Mine worked just two days ago under Lupupluslibre, and it's

Package v. 6.0.2, Engine v. 4.5.65.1, circa 2007!

The updater seems to be working again this morning. It now says the sigs are up to date...

Is there a pet for a more recent version of xfprot or fprot, or a deb package one could use in Lupuplus?

According to F-Prot, they're @ v6.2.1. Pup forums say otherwise..
Code:
F-PROT Antivirus CLS version 6.5.1.5418, 32bit (built: 2010-09-10T17-02-09)

According to a post in the fprot forum linked in my original post above, the current version is 6.7.1

Not yet. There are a couple of problems.

1. I haven't got an md5sum or hash for it, and

2. when I extracted the archive the archiver said "wrapper exited with an error",

3. I don't know how to install it, since I've never done it without a pet or a bundled version before. I don't even know whether I have to uninstall the old version first.

Any suggestions?

Is the current install located in /opt?

You extracted using?

Which Pup?

XArchive 0.2.8-6 was used to extract, it was suggested on download by Puppy as default app.

Lupuplus libre is the pup, not sure which version. Have misplaced the original iso downloaded, the LiveDVD I burned with it has died, and I am booting the updated 5.2.8.sfs with an older Lucid 5.2.8 LiveCD. The current version of Lupupluslibre linked on the Lucid 5.2.8 thread seems to be corrupted (md5sum doesn’t match),

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855

so I’m unable to get a fresh copy.

Have just noted that the sfs file loaded (I believe!) is called lupu_528-0.sfs and is dated as "changed" Sept. 7, 2011, and "modified" August 20, 2011. The copy burned to CD is called lupu_528.sfs and is dated Aug. 17, 2011. They seem to be the same size - 125M (130916368 Bytes), according to pmount.. This is baffling, as I recall the lupupluslibre download being substantially larger, around 300MB, IIRC.

So I guess I don't really have a clue what I'm running.


This is one of the more annoying aspects of the pupply version proliferation...

Update: looking through the pet manager, I see that what's on this desktop machine is instant update Lucid 528-001

Also checked the file sizes of my recent corrupted lupupluslibre download and found it only 182MB in size, where it should have been 296MB. Am now downloading it again, and keeping my fingers crossed.


Correction: I must have interrupted the second incomplete download. The third had the right MB count of 296, but failed the md5sum check. Hoping someone with the current lupulibre ISO can tell me whether the md5sum on the Lucid page is wrong.

528's fine. As suggested in the readme, I'd probably remove the old one, then run a manual install from their tarball. In other words.. you can remove it via PPM, which should wipe out the f-prot folder in opt, while effectively breaking any symlinks in /usr/local/bin. You could just as well delete it. You might wanna backup your current def file before proceeding, that is- if ya think ya can handle the manual install. Hint: Rt-clk the pet and >> file >> extract here.. then take a look..

Any symlinks to fpscan and/or fpupdate in /usr/local/bin on your current install? There an f-prot.conf in /etc?

Most of these <-docs> appear to be useless for the current version..

Code:

 ln -fs /opt/f-prot/fpscan /usr/local/bin/fpscan

Appreciate you help. But I'm far from confident about the manual install. The old engine still works, and I don't want to lose it. As soon as I can get a fresh copy of lupulibre, I'll be happy to try your instructions on another installation. But for now, I can't risk it. Thanks.
