Incorrect package count

Incorrect package count

[eepykate]

the part that confuses me more here is the bars

why are there 12?

can you try on an unmodified version?

and can you show the contents of that dir

[mmatongo]

Okay

[eepykate]

also on some of the other distros the package count is a off by a few, not really anything i can do about those.

not sure about kiss though.

Still behaves the same.

[eepykate]

please don't use asciinema, it's just a needless middleman, just show a screenshot and or copy the output, also you didn't show the contents of the package dir mentioned ya know, in the line you quoted.

also i am an idiot, 12 is normal, they're just a lot wider in the browser.

[mmatongo]

Ahh sorry, I misunderstood.
I can't take a screenshot.

But this is the output of ls -A, there are 137 entries in the in the install dir.

[eepykate]

do any of the other dirs exist, for example /var/db/pkg? [an example, check them all]

the kiss one is checked first, so it'll get overridden if any of the other dirs exist.

[mmatongo]

Under /var/db/kiss everything is separated to 3 directories namely choices, installed, repo.
choices contains symlinks.
repo contains the core repo
installed contains all installed packages

[eepykate]

I meant the other dirs checked by fet.sh, as in the lines below the kiss line which you quoted, so these dirs: /var/lib/pacman/local/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/ /var/db/xbps/ /var/db/pkg/*/

closing as user error; the dirs shouldn't even exist. You're showing the output of ls -l without even showing what dir you're running it from, not to mention, ls -l is extremely spammy and large.

[mmatongo]

The dirs in /var/lib are state files, they generate during normal system use, it's never advised to modify them.

I've already shown you the results of each directory as you've requested, I don't see how this is user error when neofetch, pfetch and fetch all manage to pick up the correct package count.

And I used ls -A both times.

What? When did I suggest that? When I said "they shouldn't exist" I wasn't saying to modify them, I was saying those other 5 dirs shouldn't exist unless you have another package manager installed.

I've already shown you the results of each directory as you've requested,

Yeah, nah, you didn't.

I requested to see the contents of one dir, you did, then i requested to see another 5 dirs and you only showed one but didn't even say which one it was.

when neofetch, pfetch and fetch all manage to pick up the correct package count.

they use commands, not files.

[eepykate]

And I used ls -A both times.

You have an alias. That is the output of ls with the l option.

and here I was, thinking kiss users knew their way around the shell...

[mmatongo]

What? When did I suggest that? When I said "they shouldn't exist" I wasn't saying to modify them, I was saying those other 5 dirs shouldn't exist unless you have another package manager installed.

You're telling me they shouldn't be there, are you suggesting that I should delete them?

I've already shown you the results of each directory as you've requested,

Yeah, nah, you didn't.

I requested to see the contents of one dir, you did, then i requested to see another 5 dirs and you only showed one but didn't even say which one it was.

Five other directories that do not exist. I did not say which one it was because I assumed you would read your own comment asking me for the specific dir.

[eepykate]

do any of the other dirs exist, for example /var/db/pkg? [an example, check them all]

explains the layout of /var/db/kiss

so these dirs: /var/lib/pacman/local/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/ /var/db/xbps/ /var/db/pkg/*/

shows ls in an unspecified dir "nothing remotely related in there"

kinda had enough, sorry, don't wanna start insulting even more

[eepykate]

again, sorry, haven't had the best week

[mmatongo]

It’s fine. I apologise if I offended you in any way, it was never my intent.
Thank you 🙏
