I took a look at this, it looks like I need to add anacron as a dependency, it's not a problem in MX because it's already installed by default, but it's not in antiX.asqwerth wrote:...added the mx repo and installed MX updater but it doesn't seem to be working on its own, as in if I leave it alone for a long time, it doesn't seem to run an update check. So the empty box icon never turns green on its own. I've changed mirrors a few times with no success. If I do an apt update in terminal, only then are updates detected and the icon turns green...
I also found a problem that some of the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ files didn't get installed, though that might be because of how I'm installing the apt-notifier package. I don't have an actual install of antiX, on the LiveUSB I have a /antiX/deb/ folder with the apt-notifier .deb and the .debs of it's dependencies (and now also anacron), which installs the apt-notifier package during the LiveUSB boot, but not everything seems to get completely configured, I found I needed to run `sudo dpkg --configure -a` in the terminal after getting to the desktop. It adds the following files (and maybe some others).
Either of these commands also seem to fix problem with the missing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ files.demo@antix1:~
