Just Re-installed 4.1 UMPC this time and still no joy so I try cheating past the blockage and it works / busy updating.
Happy updating.
How-to:Temp cheat to get packages.db.bz2
Change x86 to amd64 etc , see link below to get your version: "server Auto Updated each night "
Link:http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/sabayonlinux/entropy/standard/sabayonlinux.org/database/x86/4/You can either get the packages.db.bz2 as well as packages.db.md5 and a few others like example below here or whole as in "What happens example" further down the page.
Note> when rsync see " source/somewhere/ " and " destination/somewhere " the / on destination is missing , if / is there is will create the /4 sub-folder inside /4 folder.
Example:- Code: Select all
rsync -urPmHz rsync://na.mirror.garr.it/sabayonlinux/entropy/standard/sabayonlinux.org/database/x86/4/ /var/lib/entropy/client/database/x86/sabayonlinux.org/standard/x86/4
I just downloaded the whole x86/4 about 400mb.
Then launched Spritz and it takes a min to get with it then click it's orange rss type icon and press Regenerate Cache.
That did it for me and is now working. Rev 850
