Salix Forums

After receiving security advisory emails, I tried updating through Gslapt yesterday and received error messages that package files are not available and should they be ignored, etc. I checked with the browser and I get a 404 error on any directory and an error landing page when just trying to go to http://salix.hostingxtreme.com

My /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc references
and other directories.

Looking through the Wiki I modified the file to be
along with other directories to mirror the old URLs and commented the old URLs.

I will probably need to modify slapt-srcrc and slapt-srcrc.new likewise.

Yes, salix.hosting extreme.com no longer appears to be an option. An easier way to change your mirror is to use reposetup . Either use the graphical version found in the menu:

Systems > Repository Mirror


or the command line equivalent, reposetup

Well, I'd never looked there! I guess I made an assumption that the announcements forum only had to do with site announcements and not project announcements.

As the default installation wrote the hostingxtreme address and since I don't recall reading any where else that this situation was imminent, perhaps a note needs to be placed somewhere on the Web site, such as the download page or the Installation Guide.

ETA: I ran the GUI tool just to see what it does and it left a pair of nicely commented files.

Thanks for the info. CLI worked for me.

Hi.

I just installed Salix Fluxbox 14.1 and I have the same problem. Except that I cannot solve it:
- I don't have "Systems > Repository Mirror".
- The command sudo reposetup view some text that does not indicate that the problem will be fixed:

Refreshing mirror list from
http://salix.hostingxtreme.com/MIRRORS

What may be the solution here ?

Run reposetup with the -l option.
for details.

Thanks gapan, that solved my problem
