Problem with security update [Solved]

[serheed]

I am new to Sabayon linux. I heard that I will face some problems when I wish to update the system. I used to use ubuntu, mandriva, puppy linux and other fancy distribution. Then I decided to try Sabayon. It is a very nice distribution with great artwork. I tried these commands to secure PC:

Code: Select all

#  glsa-check -t all to check your system
# Then to fix run glsa-check -f $(glsa-check -t all)


but I ended with a problem:

Code: Select all

equo security install

and it worked. Thank you
