USM Error in Porteus 5
Yeah, I found about it too.
Main problem is, I found, that it doesn't recognise when a file is unavailable at the expected location, creates an empty one and then tries to decompress it.
This is the gzip: /var/usm/alien/CHECKSUMS.md5.gz: unexpected end of file type of error. It would be great if the usm script knew the file does not exist and produced appropriate error.
For example, at the moment the default Slacky repository of repository.slacky.eu does not work.
Second thing is the procedure to update sbo does not work. It tries to download from https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/current, but there is no "current" there.
It worked for me when I edited /usr/share/usm/funcupdateDatabase and changed line 89 from

With this workaround I was finally able to get usm to work on 5.0rc1 edition.
