Ipkg Upgrade From The Package Manager
« on: August 13, 2006, 07:41:04 am »

I tried to "upgrade" only dropbear using opie's package manager, and the package manager showed a list with just dropbear in it and said it would upgrade the following items.  I clicked proceed.  Instead it went through and upgraded everything, and when it reached libqte2 opie froze and I had to reboot.  It left  libqte.so.2 truncated, so opie would no longer run.

I have two suggestions:

1.  upgrade should do what it says its going to do

2.  there shouldnt be the option to run upgrade from package manager because it is possibly going to freeze opie and leave some files truncated.

I'm pretty sure the freezing had to do with running out of space on root.  But still, the dialogs are confusing.  It goes from saying you are going upgrade just the selected packages and then it does a full upgrade.
