Sometimes sourceforge.net have problems. So try again

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get --clean
sudo slapt-get --add-keys
sudo slapt-get -u

Must be a connection issue. slapt-get --add-keys worked for me right away.
Huge update, by the way. 600+ packages needed upgrading, and the system was up-to-date a few days ago.

Indeed. According to Patrick Volkerding in the ChangeLog for Slackware-current on Thu Apr 19 01:04:06 UTC 2018 there have been "the longest ChangeLog entry in project (Slackware) history".

As an aside folks running a full Slackware-current system got at least 1263 updates

Finally managed to download and install all updates. You're right that it's just an unreliable sourceforge connection, or perhaps they have restrictions when the traffic volume gets high.

I have an issue upgrading aaa_base again.

Initially I forgot about this post and did a collective:

Then I recalled this thread, and did a :

No problem downloading the package.

However, when I then tried to install it, I got:

Code: Select all

$ sudo /bin/bash upgradepkg --reinstall /var/slapt-get/slackware64/a/aaa_base-14.2-x86_64-5.txz

Error: there is no installed package named aaa_base-14.2-x86_64-5.
       (looking for /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/aaa_base-14.2-x86_64-5)

It's looking in a different location - has there been some changing of directory locations, such that some symlinking is required?

I searched in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/ for the aaa_base-14.2-x86_64-5 package and instead found a package named:

Code: Select all

aaa_base-14.2-x86_64-5-upgraded-2018-06-27,02:13:12

Is this a messed up updated package from my initial collective slapt-get -i ?

Would appreciate any help.

Will be leaving my PC for a few hours, but I won't shut it down pending resolution of this issue.

Try this.
