Puppy Package Manager(PPM) only downloading not installing

Post by bigpup »

Raspup 8.2.1

When I use the PPM in it.
It seems to download what I select, but it does not install it.
If I go to root directory, the different .deb packages, PPM downloaded, are there.
To actually install them. I have to individually click on each deb package, to install.

This PPM is V2.5
I see reports by people about this version having all kinds of issues.

Anyone know how to roll it back to the well working PPM older version?

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

In my xenialpup64-7.5 a file called "installpkg.sh" exists in /usr/local/petget/
Shinobar has been in there and some of his/her coding is a nightmare to follow but It seems to be the program used to do the install.

I guess you have it there if clicking on the .deb works but maybe the file calling it has been lost or corrupted.
The ppm loader is in /usr/local/bin/ppm as a link to /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh and again its been messed with.

Probably no help though for you.

The Australian State Governments have all enacted laws to steal your assets on your death. All legal paperwork is binned and all assets seized on one disgruntled child's complaint.Move them well before you die or go into a home.
