Puppy Package Manager - check dependancies via menus problem

[Karl Godt]

And with this 104/5 lines diff -up
the check_deps.sh
would look like this :

[EDIT : the diff -uaNd in the following post works for me now
So I deleted the diff -up attachment ]

[Karl Godt]

diff -up isn't working which I was told at linuxquestions.org
Also there was a problem with geany or pdksh which I tested that day (public domain KornShell ~300KB ) that cutted everything behind the column 72 .

diff -uaNd does work.
(hopefully)
Excuse for any Inconvenience !

ok this is going to drive me nutz
i've been trying to get this to work in puppy 5.20(lucid)*(lupu not luci)

the attached file is basically what check_deps.sh output always looks like in every distro ive tried from 4.x up thru

have tried to change in frugal, full and a few tweaked installs.
(frugal to full aka pupmode=12)

the fist update i do on any 5.20(lupu) install is to update the ppm
(PPM:Configure:Update)

i had originally tried the quickpet "Update Lupu PPM"
didn't seem to change anything

so was this .gz supposed to make the check_deps.sh look like the previous post sshot?
(http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=34943)

"diff-uaNd-check_deps.sh.patch.gz"

tried to download it an petget wanted to install, so i let it.
still looks like the attached image

can anyone point me in any direction on how to fix this?

I thought about a long big text, but this would belong to a howto section .

Patches are applied with the

Code: Select all

patch ##--help

command

As far as I can see it : `patch` is part of the devx_PUP_VERSION.sfs

Roughly : place the patch file in the dir of the origfile , do a

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/petget

and a

Code: Select all

cp ORIGFILE ORIGFILE.orig

unzip the patch.diff.p.patch.gz

Code: Select all

gunzip diff-uaNd-check_deps.sh.patch.gz

have a look at it

Code: Select all

geany diff-uaNd-check_deps.sh.patch &

and

Code: Select all

patch < diff-uaNd-check_deps.sh.patch

The diff command seems to work on shellscripts better with

Code: Select all

diff -U1 -aNd FILE

The patch should work flawlessly on 5.1.1 but may reject the main part on older puppies because there had been some changes [ some medium-little handwork needed ]
I had not put any changelog remarks in the head part of the file .

Anyway, thanks for the response .
