Re: update package index

From: Adrian.Aichner(a)t-online.de (Adrian Aichner) Date: 29 May 2001 19:47:36 +0200 What version of efs are you using? Ummm. I forget what version of efs I was using (sorry, too many versions of too many things) but upgrading to 1.22 worked better. In the earlier release of efs (solaris 2.1.11) I got the 'Error in process filter' type error. When I upgraded to 1.22 I got the following. --- Opening input file: No such file or directory, /anonymous＠ftp.sunsite.utk.edu:/pub/xemacs/packages/package-index.LATEST.pgp Listing /anonymous＠ftp.sunsite.utk.edu:/pub/xemacs/packages/...done Listing /anonymous＠ftp.sunsite.utk.edu:/pub/xemacs/packages/...

I was able to save the package-index file and go from there. I'll try to upgrade efs to 1.25 soon, I've figured out how to babysit the process. -jeff You could try the one in Pre-Releases.
