Pkg 2.0 fails to handle symlinks

Post by Phoenix »

Normally installing works fine without a hitch, but sometimes trying to install proves to be painful because its not quite properly handling x86_64-linux-gnu being symlinked to . meaning I have to manually extract and copy over the libraries. Same for simply using the GUI to 'click' and install the .deb file.

What exact Puppy version you using?

Is this the pkg you are using?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

F96-CE is the puppy being used. I believe that is the PKG being used, yes.
