#16573: Un-activated packages after install
-------------------------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: wombatstew | Owner: nobody
Type: bug | Status: new

Keywords: pkgman activate package | Blocked By:

-------------------------------------+-----------------------
Version: R1/beta2 (hrev54154+119) x86_64
During install, I selected all optional packages to be installed (includes
binutils, gcc).
Post-install, I found that the gcc tools were missing. I tried installing
it with pkgman, and it successfully downloaded all the dependencies.
However, while installing, the program exits with the following error:
{{{#!div style="font-size: 90%"
Code highlighting:
{{{#!bash
*** failed to commit transaction: The to be activated package
"binutils-2.31.1-2-x68_64.hpkg" does already exist.
}}}
}}}
I was able to work through the issue on the discussion forum
[https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/pgkman-failed-to-commit-transaction/10058
here]. It appeared there were unactivated packages in
/boot/system/packages/ that I needed to manually remove to fix the issue.
I was unable to reproduce this issue with a fresh install, but it was
suggested that pkgman should be able to clean/handle these types of
issues, and to submit a bug report here.
