Issues with eopkg

Henry-Wilson

Good day, folks,

I've just installed Solus on a new computer, and am having some issues with eopkg.

Many commands will produce the error message:

System error. Program terminated. unsupported locale setting

When I run with the debug option, I find the following.

Traceback: File "/usr/bin/eopkg", line 82, in <module> cli.run_command() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/cli/pisicli.py", line 142, in run_command self.command.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/cli/rebuilddb.py", line 51, in run if ctx.ui.confirm(_('Rebuild eopkg databases?')): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pisi/cli/__init__.py", line 154, in confirm locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 581, in setlocale return _setlocale(category, locale)

The only thing that I could think of as a potential cause is that I tried to install Chrome through the software GUI, got impatient with it after an hour, killed the GUI, and installed chrome from the command line. Perhaps that messed something up.

Anyway, what do you all think?

Best wishes,

Henry-Wilson Anyway, what do you all think?

Sounds to me like you've got it. If it happened to me, and I couldn't think of anything else that could be the cause, I wouldn't hesitate to get rid of Chrome and install it again -- this time using a bit more patience.

Henry-Wilson

Chrome isn't the issue right now, unfortunately. Just got rid of it, issues persist with eopkg. What I most want is to figure out how to un-bork whatever I've borked. The solus software center continues to work, for what it's worth, and can complete operations which would elicit this result from eopkg.

export LC_ALL=C
sudo eopkg <whatever>

Now, however, I do have this...

eopkg hs whatevernumber
should in theory restore a state before chrome. you just got to be sure its before chrome or whatever else fubard you. I've done it. easy. just taking a time machine back a little.

edit: since we are in between updates this is a positive

Just tried this - awesome feature that I didn't know about, but it leaves my issues in place.

ok that too bad.
since this happened on install...
Solus golden rule #1: make sure you are updated always sudo eopkg up
You can always check to see broken packages: sudo eopkg check
Assuming something is broken there's a two for one command, seek broken and replace:
sudo eopkg check | tee /dev/stderr | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

Reboots often perform unintended good surprises often. It's a new install.
Maybe a Dev or someone can interpret the errors you are getting; I can not.

Maybe worth a try to re-install pisi (the package containing eopkg), if you can run sudo eopkg it --reinstall pisi

Henry-Wilson

Yeah I actually guessed that might be useful. Ran it, no change.

Don't worry about it, folks.

Take care! :-)

youre updated, nothing is broken, and you installed/reinstalled.
I don't even know what gpg is but I see it has a help menu in my CLI. And the more I read it the more I think its a keyring/permission weird thing. I have no doubt you can fix this.eopkg rdb for good measure? along with dc and rmo?
