Bug

Before upgrading to 8.2 version of postgresql, dump your databases. The new version is incompatible with the older one.

If you are using current and you have a GeForce 4 graphics card (this is a lot of laptops), please do not do a system upgrade until the nvidia-96xx package is available tomorrow. Once it is available, install it. The latest version of nvidia removes support for GeForce 4 cards.

As a side note, the Frugalware developer team would like to wish all our users a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

If you find any apps that don’t start with a message about libdbus-1.so.2 not found, we want to know about it now! Just submit a report with the package’s name to the Bug Tracker. Thanks!

We’ve upgraded to DBUS 0.9x in -current, meaning that some apps will be broken. We currently don’t want any reports on any broken apps so that we don’t get flooded by bug reports! We have a very big list of things that need rebuilding, so we’ll probably cover most apps over this week. We’ll post a note when we want your bug reports again!

Thanks!

It was a trouble for several users to upgrade the old nvidia package (locally-compiled at install) to the new, binary one. Here is the solution (provided that the database and the other packages are up-to-date):

pacman -Sfd nvidia --noconfirm

(No, it does not mean that we dislike the Software Freedom Day…)
