unrar unmenu version

[djdexter]

I installed 5.rc10 when i go to unmenu to install unrar its saying this

 

unrar (rar extraction/compression program)

Installed, but version is different. Current version='3.71' expected '3.93'

 

How can i fix this

install the newer version.  Apparently you have an older version installed.

How can i do that. When i click unmenu updates from user scripts it says no updates. so will i have to manually download it? if so how

Did you install it from unMENU?

 

I;m a bit confused?  Do you not have a "Download" button on the package-manager page when you select the unrar package?

I just tries it here and the link works just fine, it downloaded the file from

http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/unrar/pkg/13.1/unrar-3.9.10-i486-2alien.tgz

and put it in my /boot/packages directory.    Is the file there in yours?  Did you download it ever?

Once downloaded, unmenu's package manager then gave me a button to install it.  PRessing it installed unrar and then presented me with a button to re-install on reboot.

 

The only way to have a difference in version number is if you installed a different version from somewhere else (or one of your other add-ons installed it for its own use, but installed the older version)

 

From the command line type

/usr/bin/unrar 2>&1 | grep UNRAR | awk '{print $2}'

see what version you have.
