A bit more info on the problem I'm finding and the less-than-satisfactory workaround I'm using:

I've installed browser seamonkey-2.0.4-p4.pet from your Browser installer.

After running the program from an rxvt console I go to youtube.com and play a video. If I then stop the video and select a new youtube video to play, seamonkey crashes with a segmentation fault. If I then restart seamonkey, go back to youtube and try to play a video, seamonkey keeps crashing with the segmentation fault. However, if I go into seamonkey preferences (under Edit submenu) and clear only the Cache (under Privacy and security preferences), I can then play a youtube video again with no problem. Of course, if I then try to play another video, seamonkey crashes out again until I clear the cache again.

I normally use Seamonkey on my other Puppies (e.g. Slacko-5.3.3) and have no such problems. I will try this version of Seamonkey there (if it runs) and see if the same problem arises and report back.

[mcewanw]

Okay, I installed the same seamonkey pet in Slacko-5.3.3. It installed just the same (main program part into /mnt/home) and ran fine, but... exactly the same problem with youtube video's causing segmentation error when run twice without clearing the cache...

[mcewanw]

Okay... I moved the main seamonkey folder from /mnt/home/seamonkey/program to /usr/lib and the segmentation error vanished... So, just need to find out what is wrong with it being in /mnt/home/seamonkey/program normally. Perhaps something to do with that script /mnt/home/seamonkey/start ?

EDIT: Hmmm... still in Slacko-5.3.3 with that seamonkey version and put it back to normal such that the seamonkey symlink in /usr/link pointed via seamonkey-2.0.4 symlink to the main seamonkey files back in /mnt/home/seamonkey/program and it now all seems to work fine... sigh... no idea why. I will now return to the same issue on my Akita installation and try the same above steps to see if the segmentation fault is thus mysteriously fixed. I hate things that start working without any reasonable explanation as to why though...

[mcewanw]

Unfortunately, the problem remains on my system when running Akita. I now have no idea why this same version of seamonkey is now working okay under slacko-5.3.3. If I find out, I'll report back...

EDIT: I have now uninstalled that seamonkey altogether from Slacko-5.3.3 and then reinstalled it fresh. But this time under Slacko the seamonkey segmentation error, when running youtube videos more than once, was no longer occurring at all. But... the problem remains running this seamonkey under Akita. Wish I knew why, but I don't...

EDIT NEWEST: The problem seems to have gone away by itself. That seamonkey now working fine in my Akita installation. I can only imagine that my pupsave is flaky (or more likely the underlying storage media) because the only thing I did was to install Opera and then install the seamonkey browser again. Big sigh. Hope the problem really has gone. Akita is nice and low on resources.

pkg 0.1
a command line package manager for Akita

Type 'pkg' in the terminal to run it.. it supports:

- list repo contents, names only or all info, search repo for whatever..
- auto download, install & setup the latest versions, with only `pkg --get PKGNAME`
- choose pkg ver to get, install pkg , uninstall pkg, get pkg deps, check pkg deps, check pkg contents,
- check install status, update repo, use multiple repos, choose which deps to get,
- which pkg owns file X, --force option, --ask option, and more..

Usage a few posts below...

Pkg 0.3 - a fast, easy, command-line package manager

Here is an updated 'pkg', which will be in the next Akita.

I think it's the most useful, time-saving thingy I ever made..
It's working a treat for me..

This version, pkg 0.3, has the following added features and fixes:

- you can now build combined pkgs (that is, PKG+deps), use --pkg-build PKGNAME
- nice progress % indicator for all downloads
- improved error checking and console output
- fixes for --force --download, other fixes

Pkg has the following features that the Akita PetGet does not:

- works without X desktop loaded
- auto find latest pkg version.. Example: pkg -g freeciv <-- get the latest freeciv
- can force re-download/re-install/removal of a pkg
- can choose which deps, and even which version of each dep, to install
- use --ask to ask you before each step is completed
- can list contents of the given pkg
- find which pkg owns file X, Y or Z
- build packages - combine pkg+deps into one new pkg
- get pkg status (name, size, installed or not, which deps are found/missing)
- can complete unfinished dep insatllation, etc
- auto sort repo list to always make latest pkg versions the default to download
- more stuff....

Pkg is also ideal for integrating into other scripts, such as a browser-installer, QuickPet, etc ...

I also plan to:

- pet2sfs and sfs2pet conversion
- enable sfs pkg creation, installation, removal (using sfs_load)
- add support for src2pkg (so pkg has options to build from source and install)

Pkg 0.4
cmd line pkg manager

Currently requires: BASH, wget, tgz2pet , pet2tgz..
Hoping to remove these deps by using own funcs and busybox, if possible. Help appreciated.

Changelog for 0.4:

Added support install/remove/status for alien pet packages (local files, pkgs not in the repo, etc)

- pkg now allows the installation of any local .pet, like petget
- pkg just needs a valid pet file, that actually exists
- you can use any of the following:

[sc0ttman]

Pkg 0.5 - a command line pkg manager

Changelog:

- added sfs2pet(), use `pkg --sfs2pet /path/to/file.pet`
- fixes for local packages,
- fixed `pkg [--ask|--force] -i|-u LOCALPKG`
- fixed: `pkg --find BLAH` is now not case sensitive

[sc0ttman]

Pkg 0.6 - a command line pkg manager

Changelog:

- fixed pkg uninstall: replace removed files with original files from /initrd/pup_ro2/, if needed..

[sc0ttman]

Pkg 0.7 - a command line pkg manager

Changelog:

- fixes for --uninstall: hide dirname errors
- added TAB auto complete for all options and package names
- just start typin any option or package name and hit TAB to auto complete it
- the script '/etc/bash_completion.d/pkg' is added to the .pet package below

I'm being kinda lazy by not just looking at the code, but how did you implement the tab completion?

[sc0ttman]

[sc0ttman]

Pkg 0.8 cmd line pkg manager

NOTE: to get TAB completion working you must first run this command in your terminal window or console, before you run pkg:
