When I finished installation I attempted to install updates. But every time I got this error:
"Failed to download: MD5 checksum mismatch, override with --no-md5".
Then, I changed the mirror and did:
Code: Select all
sudo slapt-get --clean
Code: Select all
sudo slapt-get -u
Code: Select all
sudo slapt-get --upgrade
http://salix.enialis.net
http://download.salixos.org
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/salix

http://slackware.uk/salix
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/salix
http://mirror.inode.at/salix
http://mirrors.xmission.com/salix
And some of those mirrors I tried even two or three times.
And at the end I tried the greek mirror, too. That is http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/salix. With the greek mirror everything went fine on both machines.
On the third machine I wanted to install Salix on, I did something else after installation:
My machines were behind a proxy (using IPFire). But that was the case with the former machines, too. So, that shouldn't be the reason, right? At first, for a test, I switched off the proxy and made a reset on all network devices (IPFire, internet router, switch etc).
Secondly, I tried again to install the updates using the list of mirrors from above. In all cases the error came up again. Only with the greek mirror I didn't get the error. So, using the greek mirror I could successfully install all updates.
After re-activating the proxy, I downloaded a Linux installation image and checked the md5sum. I thought if there were some data corruption I would see a md5sum mismatch. But there was no mismatch with the ISO.
So, what's the reason? Is there something wrong?
