slapt-get

it seems that when issuing the command

bt~#slapt-get --update

the sources fail to download. I have tried numerous fixes and have only been able to get one to work. If you have another one please submit it for testing. I simply took out the sources provided and put in the source for the new slacky repository. The file you need to change is called /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc and mine looks like this

I commented out the two that didnt work. Actually I tried numerous different ones from the get slacky site and none of them worked. then rerun and you should get something like this and you say yes and there you go.

So as you can see everyone of them failed to even update the packages.
I used the one that you used pureh@te none of them seemed to work.
also these are all "official slackware mirrors" provided from the slackware website.
I have also had the same problems with the md5 errors when using slapt-get.
Of course I could download and install some of the packages manually by going to the web and finding d/l etc but thats probably only going to work once for maybe two three different packages. lol

If any one has any other suggestions thanx!

also I will keep trying mirrors as i can add them to the slapt-getrc file.
but I dont think its the mirrors rather something else.

Testing a few several mirros does only prompt a few error messages.
But if i will use the darkside mirror i think this seems to work. It is just aren't able to download the signature but i think this would not change or do it?

it looks like we are still not there....
anyway, it needs more testing.

what i did is upgrade everything, then it was broken again, i removed the just automaticly upgraded slapt-get version,
then reinstalled the 0.9.10 version, and now everything is suddenly up to date and i don't see any slapt-get updatable version.

edit:

never mind what i said about the automated update after slapt-get works...
i cannot reproduce it, so there is no bug.. at this moment

if someone still walks into it, just reinstall the manually installed version.
