Description Forgotten User 7L3tOtZIov 2005-08-26 23:28:10 UTC

pin does not find ARCHIVES.gz even while it is copied to /var/lib/pin/ and I
have chmodded it  to 777.

houghi@linux:~> ls -AlF /var/lib/pin/
total 5790
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 5922404 2005-08-27 01:19 ARCHIVES.gz*
houghi@linux:~> pin pin

 *** pin found no ARCHIVES.gz file in /var/lib/pin/

Comment 1 Martin Lasarsch 2005-09-05 13:13:13 UTC

this is because it will now install ARCHIVES.gz from CD/DVD if it only  
found the file without link including the versionnumber. This is needed if  
you update your system and pin will still use the old file without warnings.  
  
Works for me with beta4, it will show (with plain ARCHIVES.gz in /var/lib/pin)  
  
no file ARCHIVES_10.0.gz found ... bla bla  
 
feel free to try again with > beta3 and reopen bug if it's still not working
