puppy-get 2.0 beta
yes, apologies if I was not clear
I did a database rebuild
puppy-get install dillo, this corrected the missing dependencies, fully working
puppy-get install gweled, this corrected the missing dependencies and is also fully working
I tried puppy-get remove dillo and gweled but get the same 'not installed' error
I tried a new install (netsurf), this also correctly installed (but icon to network) but this also failed on remove with the 'not installed' error

seems to be working well
I rebooted a pristine xenialpup, ran puppyget update to build the database
pg install dillo
installed correctly
pg remove dillo almost completely removed dillo (? pixmaps from memory), like that it removed the dillo*.files entry in .packages
however it does not remove the dependency (libmikmod), when running pg remove libmikmod package not installed returned, had to remove manually using contents of libmikmod*.files entry
ran pg install mah-jong (no dependencies), installed correctly and was able to completely remove all components except for mah-jong folder
this is excellent - nice work
would like to see the removal of the .deb files also, perhaps a 'would you like to remove .deb', over time this could end up quite a large file base and better dependency removal although I accept this could be tricky

mistfire,
This is small enough you could post it as a pet package.
The forum will allow attachments up to 256KB in size.
A lot of people have trouble doing these simple things.

As a pet package it would just download, install, and work.Fake gz

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

yes, you are correct, puppy-get remove libmikmod3 worked correctly
a thing I found difficult was grouping *.debs and their dependencies where I had installed more than one item
when running the install it shows the dependencies but I would have to make a note of what installed making it hard (for me) to find the correct files for the relevant .deb
could the install files be installed to a folder ie
gweled > gweled*.deb liblikmod3*.deb
just thinking out loud
apart from my own user difficulties this is bloody awesome!

@ally you can view the information of the packages that you install and its dependecies by typing
puppy-get info <package name>
example:
puppy-get info gweled
instead of writing it on paper, save it on file using this command
puppy-get info gweled > /root/gweled-info.txt
puppy-get info <package name>
example:
puppy-get info gweled
instead of writing it on paper, save it on file using this command
puppy-get info gweled > /root/gweled-info.txt

@bigpup
I rightclick>properties and check all the exec boxes rather than the chmod
@mistfire
cool, thanks
I just installed kodi using the script and then removed it and it's 22 (!) dependencies using the .deb files as guides, that is why I thought of grouping them in a folder but your info works too
I had a little trouble deciphering the correct file name, ie
mime-support or mime-support3 from mime-support3.5.6-2 (I made that up but you get the idea)
again, not huge but could get frustrating for us simpletons
nice script to have in the arsenal though

Hello mistfire.
Thank you for making your puppy-get script available to Puppyists.
I can't say I've put it through its paces -- there are lots more features in it that
I need to explore, and probably you have not finished developing it --, but even
as it is, already I find it quite a relief to have a working script for supplying
apps to localised Pups.
This is not the place to complain of course, but as I have mentioned before a
few times on this board, my PPM's have a tendency to work for a while only.
Whether that bug is linked to something in the localisation or if the PPM stops
working after having installed a certain number of packages, I am not able to
ascertain. (For the disbelievers: I do update the PPM DBs regularly.)
That is why your script brings relief to my situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~
So far I have tried your versions 1.1 and 1.3, but not all functions, as
mentioned.
Yes the master DBase takes a long time to build, but we can do something else
while it is building.
I use the following line to locate an app or library in the master DB:"mikmod" being an example. (If this one-liner can help someone.)
I have tried the download, install and remove functions.
The first two work well.
The third does not seem to respond, in that both versions issue the message:
With your script I was able to download the large cytadela game package (no
install), and to install the small gentoo calculator, the gweled game and its
libmikmod3 library.
I know this post is not much of a report, but I hope that it still helps to advance
the discussion.
Good continuation. BFN.
