How do I tell that release of tldr to use the pages already stored there?

This sounds scary and seems to be something is going wrong. What OS are you in ?

By default it uses the locally cached pages. In your case, it doesn't seem to work because -u has failed because of segmentation fault. Can you try again with -u and see if it's reproducible ?

Reproducible

I ran an strace on ./tldr -u, and 99% of it seem to be blocks like this (repeated with I'm guessing all .md-files):

stat("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=767, ...}) = 0
access("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", R_OK) = 0
access("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", W_OK) = 0
access("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", X_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
stat("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=767, ...}) = 0
chmod("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", 0100764) = 0
lstat("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0764, st_size=767, ...}) = 0
unlink("/home/jonta/.local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md") = 0

Is it checking whether the .md-files are executable? Ref. X_OK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

@Jonta Thanks, the strace output is quite helpful.

Do you have write permission for ~/.local/share/tldr ?

@psibi

Ah, meant to include that

drwxrwxr-x

Both after ./tldr -u and after tldr -u (the latter restoring the cache)

[Jonta]

The file above (~./local/share/tldr/tldr/pages.de/common/git-apply.md) has -rw-rw-r--

[psibi]

@Jonta I just tested the master version in my machine and it seems to work (but I'm using NixOS). Can you try these things:

• rm -rf ~/.local/share/tldr/tldr
• tldr -u

Can you check if that changes things for you ?

@psibi After this, ./tldr doesn't find pages, and ./tldr -u segfaults again

The straces look very similar as well

[Jonta]

tldr --version 0.9.2

• Seems to work as expected now
• Ubuntu 22.10
• Closing as fixed. :)

Nice, thanks for the confirmation.
