For some reason spkg (used as backend for spi and slapt-get in Slint) fails to run the post-installation script, that makes the system unusable, cf. this post.
To avoid that you need to do what follows before running gslapt or spi or slapt-get:
- Download the new most important glibc-* packages for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Install them with upgradepkg
