AFAIK you are tracking current and therefor I would do:

Well, I could try that, but it was working before.
This is indeed Slackware current, but at gapan's suggestion, I installed slapt-get, pointing to Salix repositories as well. However, I may have made an unwitting mistake somewhere along the line since.

Ah mimosa, the age strikes more and more relentlessly!
I can clearly see that you exclude the kernel by the expression
^kernel-.* in the
EXCLUDE string.
The real problem seems to be that only
aaa_base is shown as excluded, although other packages are excluded.

Hi mimosa, what do you mean exactly? What happens if you run
There was an issue with spkg, where packages with installed size >1GB (kernel-source is) would not install/upgrade, but I've fixed that, so you probably need to upgrade spkg first. Not sure if that's what you're seeing.

The problem appears to be the non-existent Salix extra repository. Here is the output from slapt-get (notice the message at the end):

Now I have commented out the line in slapt-getrc referring to the Extra repository, and all works as expected. It seems none of the sources are updated if one gives an error.
And probably, you told me to do that, but it got put back when I ran reposetup at some point.
qt5 has been excluded because of an unmet dependency on "gst", though - but there is no such package according to slapt-get.

Ah, that's right, I missed that.
As for the "gst" dependency, no idea how it got there... I just removed it.
