How to exlude package from upgrading? [Solved]

[Ryuno-Ki]

Ryuno-Ki, why do you think, I do misunderstand between

Code: Select all

equo update

and

Code: Select all

equo upgrade

?

I work only with equo. And "equo update" won't modify any package on your box. Just sync your local database with the repository. To download and install newer versions, you have to run "equo upgrade". Maybe it's a confusing wording compared with the labels in Rigo. Can't tell, since I rarely run the GUI.

You can fill a feature request on Bugzilla, if you want Fabio ask for examples in the manpages. But afaik they're generated automatically …
We have some articles in the wiki, which are a bit outdated or under revision: Equo, List of Equo Functions and of course: "man equo". I'll update the wiki, when my exams are passed.

Buon giorno, Sabayonino.
Thank you again for your last reply and describing how to recover an older system.
I'll use it for future upgrades then, when I will do an entropy database backup before.
My best friend uses Sabayon SL X KDE also, but after last upgrade, he could no more login to KDE DE.
Standard terminal is still available, so he could execute normal commands as root.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have any backups, neither of entropy database nor the whole system at all.
So, I've hoped to recover his older system packages before upgrading without having any backup.
Now, he will reinstall a new SL, maybe a Daily Build then.
But I will recommend him at least to backup entropy database before upgrading in future.

Have a great day!

He can open a new thread but first he can search in the forum for a similar issue. there are many topics that can help him.

Ciao Sabayonino.
I didn't want to confuse anyone here.
And I didn't expect to get a specific answer for that problem in this thread.

Buona notte,
