after running "sudo slaptget -u" and then "slaptget -upgrade", I get the following:
97 upgraded, 0 reinstalled, 32 newly installed, 0 to remove, 7 not upgraded.
Need to get 131.2MB/571.2MB of archives.
After unpacking 295.0MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [y/N] y
45/129 Get http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware-current/ dhcpcd 6.11.5-i586-2 [156.0kB]...Failed to download: HTTP response code said error

I tried gslapt also, and get the same error.

What do I do to fix this error?

Thanks

Slackel uses Sourceforge servers which are free. I cannot pay for a server as in the past. Sourceforge forbid run cron on shell so i have manually check and upgrade the Slackware updates. A new upgrade of dhcpcd and kernel and other packages happened at 3 Jan.
Please run again

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get --upgrade 
dhcpcd upgraded to version 7.0.0
