ImageMagick

I was surprised not find this package, upon which so many other packages depend, in any Salix sources. If no one objects I will submit this package for inclusion in the 14.0 repositoy.

Is not ImageMagick a Slackware official package?

It already there, it a Slackware package, not Salix. I installed it several times using slapt-get this past weekend to build some packages. There looks to be a problem with the 14.0 x64 repo right now. I notice the PACKAGE.TXT file is empty (size is 0 kb) . Look here:
http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/slackware-14.0/
If your trying to install on a x64 this may be the problem. The i486 PACKAGE.TXT looks ok.

Come to think of it I remember disabling the Slackware-14.0 source recently when it failed during update.
Thanks for the info guys.

How did that happen? It's fixed now anyway.

I had this with Slackel (installed for a friend). I updated slaptgetrc to point at 14.0 instead of current, and the Slackware part generated an error. Thought it was a mistake on my part, and I was going to check I had the links right.

What happened to your "/var/log/packages" directory? Run ls -l /var/log/packages/ and ls -l /var/log/

Slackel will never have a 14.0 slackware repository but has a slackware current repository. So updating slapt-getrc to point to 14.0 will point to nothing.
Slackel follows slackware current and latest kde releases.
