[solved] Cannot download truecrypt in Sourcery

Post by andyprice »

Hi
I'm trying to install truecrypt via sourcery but it only gets a little way (as far as the .png I think) before stopping with the message "there was an error downloading the source files...". I have installed several other programs successfully through sourcery so I guess there is a problem with the source link for truecrypt. Can someone check please?
Thanks
Andy

you can just download the build file from Slackbuild, and check if the source location in the file is still valid. Or you can just download the source file manually, and with the build file you can create the package.

From truecrypt README file on Slackbuikds:
NOTE: There is no direct link to the TrueCrypt source archive, as such,
it must be downloaded manually from within a web browser.

Downloaded source and slackbuild separately and it's ok now. Thanks.
