the 'cal' symlink in /usr/bin is missing. it's usually linked to /bin/busybox

rg66 made un Unistall Pet pet.
What is handy with this is that you bypass (the slow) PPM and can even run multiple instances and thus simultaneous uninstalls. (would be nice if a gtkdialog expert can make possible to select multiple pets for uninstalling)

However, rg66's version is for an older PPM versions and will not work with the latest precise, slacko etc.
So here it is updated for the latest PPM (and internationalized)

Latter addition Although useless for most pups , here is also a companion InPet.pet prepared for a PPMless pupplet . Is a GUI for installing pets

[mavrothal]

Here is the latest JWM version 590 compiled in Precise 5.4.3, that may solve some random X crashes

[darkcity]

nice work with unpet, added to wiki http://puppylinux.org/wikka/UnPet

First a HAPPY New Year to all Puppy developers and users!!

Very nice Precise Puppy 5.4.3

Use it now , and it is very good.

Only little bug i have found:

In PPM the packages libgudev-1.0-0_175 and gil1.2-gudev-1.0.175 are marked installed but they are not!
So if you install a package that use one of those (for instance vlc ) then you would get a "missing libgudev-1.0.so.0" .
After installing libgudev-1.0-0_175 all works great.

(This bug is not limited to Precise 5.4.3, but I'm adding a link in this thread because it is in Woof, and Precise 5.4.3 is the latest Puppy built from Woof. I suspect that the bug actually lives in all Puppies that contain Pudd.)
