Salix Forums

Hello!

I'm having trouble with Fontforge when installing with Gslapt. I installed from Slackbuilds, and then the program opened normally. After a few minutes Gslapt wanted to update, to the Salix version, and after the update (I had to give Gslapt a chance..) it'snot working.
This is the error message I get when I try to open via terminal:

Same problem here with the package from the salix repo. For now I suggest uninstalling the Salix package and rebuild the one from Slackbuild.org. To stop gslapt from wanting to upgrade to the salix package add fontforge to the excludes listing gslapt preferences.

Thanks for the reply, and for pointing out that I could exclude the package for now.

I just added a new fontforge package in the repos. So, you should be safe to let gslapt upgrade to it (as soon as mirrors sync that is).

Done!

Thank you so much! I really like the fact that packages installed from slackbuilds become "adopted" by slapt The same thing happened with Remmina, and it's been working perfectly.
