Salix Forums

Here is a list of packages that have bad soft links and need to be fixed:
fvwm95-2.0.43f-i486-2salix
HawkNL-1.68-i486-1salix
http-parser-2.7.1-i486-1salix
libiptcdata-1.0.4-i486-2salix
oss-4.2.2011-i586-1salix
PDCurses-3.4-i486-1salix
qt3-3.3.8b-i486-5salix

example of the problem:
( cd usr/lib ; ln -sf /usr/src/slapt-src/libraries/PDCurses/package-PDCurses/usr/lib/libXCurses.so libXpanel.so )

I found this problem searching thur the /var/log/scripts files. I hope this helps.

Right. I can confirm those. However, as all these are in the extra repo, the best course for getting those fixed is informing the respective SlackBuild maintainers in SBo. For what it's worth they seem to be problems with the original Makefiles, not the SlackBuild scripts, so maybe it would be even better if the original developers were informed about them. There is nobody developing qt3 though and I'm not that certain how well maintained are the rest in the list.

Thanks for the report though! I think I'll try to figure out a way to detect these kinds of errors when the packages are built.
