Good day to everybody,
Firstly, this is just a question, not a “complaint”. I just like to know why this happens, for my own curiosity.
Sometimes I notice while upgrading that packages are held back, like right now for instance with the “iso-snapshot-antix”.
Do not big deal about this, but I wonder why this happens and if I should leave it the way it is until it updates itself or if I should force it with dist-upgrade.In addition, I also noticed that sometimes the Antix package manager simply does not work for a certain program, let’s say “LO office full”. It just enters and quits without installing/doing anything. After a few days, it works again. Why does this happen? Repo not reachable? Should I simply choose another repo?
Thanks for your feedback and kind regards,
Pat

Hi,
1) Held packages:
Packages are typically held because of unmet dependencies, e.g. missing latest dependencies repacked without systemd.
I usually wait till things get sorted out or you may specify the packages held and @anticapitalista will re-pack the missing dependencies, if that is the cause.2) antiX package manager:
Disclaimer:
I mostly do not use it, I typically install using ‘apt’ or some downloaded applications/packages not present there via ‘dpkg -i’.
The antiX package manager is intended to get better configuration for your antiX system.If there are problems, you may try to run it from command-line instead of starting from antiX control centre.
It may write some information into the terminal you start it from OR it may log into some file content of which you may examine to find out the troubles.
It is also possible that your current repository is not up-to-date yet, the changes require some time to propagate from the “master” repository, or the repository is temporarily down because of maintenance.

Please post your repos list

Thank you Anticapitalista,
See attached my repo info and the info about the held back packages.

Try

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Thank you AC. Great. That did the trick. What made this manual action necessary?
Cheers

It should have been automatic.
iso-snapshot now replaces iso-snapshot-antixPhilosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
