I'm running some cron jobs that email me notification and when it runs the daily cron it says that it cannot find the swup binary. I really don't know anything about swup. I read a few archived messages in the list and noticed its a package manager? Do I need it if I'm using apt-get? My TS box says that it has the swup-libs and swup cron installed. I can't see anywhere else that I can install swup or fix this problem. Thanks for any advice you can give.

No, swup was last time shipped with classic 1.1 and even then apt was the primary package manager. Just remove possible swup packages you have installed: # rpm -e swup-libs # rpm -e swup # rpm -e swupcron # rpm -e rdfgen -- Jaakko From mikael at tinysofa.org Wed Aug 16 15:16:59 2006 From: mikael at tinysofa.org (Mikael Bak) Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:16:59 +0200 Subject: [Classic-discuss] Missing Swup In-Reply-To: <44E33251.2010108@comcast.net> References: <44E33251.2010108@comcast.net> Message-ID: <200608161716.59750.mikael@tinysofa.org> On Wednesday 16 August 2006 16:57, IchBin? wrote: > Can anyone tell this linux novice why I'm missing swup and how to get it > back?

This is the old Trustix package manager or more accurately SoftWare UPdater. There's a "apt-cron" package that does what swup.cron does for swup, namely updates the packages automatically. Allthough I don't use it because I don't want that to happen automatically. > My TS box says that it has the swup-libs and swup cron installed.

What does the command "rpm -qa | grep swup" output? You should probably remove all packages on your system having anything to do with swup. Quick and dirty fix is to remove the "/etc/cron.daily/swup.cron" file.
