While waiting for someone to determine what the issue is, as a work around you can install medit this way using slapt-src in a terminal:

1) Fetch the slackbuild sources file

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-src -f medit

2) Change to the slapt-src working directory:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/slapt-src/development/medit

3) make the medit.Slackbuild executable:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x medit.SlackBuild

4) build the medit package

Code: Select all

sudo ./medit.SlackBuild 

5) install the medit package

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -i  /tmp/medit-1.1.1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz 

Also you could also try to build and install the latest medit version, 1.2.0 by doing the following:

1) Fetch the slackbuild sources file

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-src -f medit

2) Change to the slapt-src working directory:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/slapt-src/development/medit

2a) Fetch the medit 1.2.0 source

Code: Select all

sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mooedit/medit/1.2.0/medit-1.2.0.tar.bz2

3) make the medit.Slackbuild executable:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x medit.SlackBuild

4) build the medit 1.2.0 package

Code: Select all

sudo VERSION=1.2.0 ./medit.SlackBuild 

5) install the medit package

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -i  /tmp/medit-1.1.1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

I'm getting the same error here now. Try manually downloading it to the slapt-src working directory.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/slapt-src/development/medit
sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mooedit/medit-1.1.1.tar.bz2
