Salix Forums

Hi,
been using Salix for a while and recently changed laptop so took advantage and installed Salix 14.1_64 (Xfce). Everything has been pretty good, except that over the last 2 weeks Gslapt has constantly swapped between Salix14.1_64 and Salix14.1_64_Slackware14.1 versions of about 35-39 packages.

This happens every couple of days and usually I get 2 notifications from Gslapt within an hour of eachother, one moving me to Slackware14.1 packages and the second back to Salix14.1_64 packages.

Is this known behaviour? What could be causing it, have I not configured something right? Can anyone here point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Post a copy of your slapt-getrc file from /etc/slapt-get

@laprjns, thanks for the reply, here's a copy as requested:

Code: Select all

# Working directory for local storage/cache.
WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
# Exclude package names and expressions.
# To exclude pre and beta packages, add this to the exclude:
#   [0-9\_\.\-]{1}pre[0-9\-\.\-]{1}
EXCLUDE=^aaa_elflibs,^aaa_base,^devs,^glibc.*,^kernel-.*,^udev,^rootuser-settings,^zzz-settings.*,-i?86-

# The Slackware repositories, including dependency information

# The Salix repository
SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/14.1/:PREFERRED

# Local repositories
# SOURCE=file:///var/www/packages/:CUSTOM

It's probably a simple fix, but then I'm a simple user!

Also, there's a slapt-getrc.new file in the same directory, is that normal?

Ta.

This looks perfectly fine. I wonder if it's some trouble with the mirror. Run

Code: Select all

sudo reposetup

and choose another one. There should be some mirrors in England and Ireland which might even be faster for you.

Thanks Gapan, I've just run that and I'll see how it beds in over the next week. I'll get back to let you know how I got on.

Ta.
Dave Cox
