testing newest kde live I notice that you have same files and dirs in /usr/man and in /usr/share/man.
also same files in /usr/doc and usr/share/doc. Is this a mistake or did you change packaging rules?
also browsing "slapt-get --sea" i see these duplicate packages

1. what is the differences between .....-i486-1 and ....._slack13.37 packages?
2. i'm confused, for example why slapt-get chooses
wpa_supplicant or ntp from salix even the build/version number shows slackware package is newer?
3. if I manually choose slackware package over salix package, they all don't work, for example tightvnc
Code: Select all
one@salixlive:~$ vncviewer
vncviewer: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
4. why duplicate packages even on salix server(rootuser-settings)?
