WARNING glibc-* updated again, follow instructions below
Posted: 6. Jul 2017, 06:26
The WARNING in the previous post still applies. Updated instructions below.

Type in a terminal
Instructions for Slint-14.2 (32-bit), if "uname -m" reports "i686':
Type in a terminal
PS This is of course a workaround, Until we find a real solution I will shortly provide updated slapt-get packages without the patch that makes it relying on spkg. This will noticeably slow down some updates (those that remove packages shipping many files), but better safe than sorry.
