What does that mean? And how does one fix that?

What is wrong with salix repo that I have used?

Thanks.

usm sometimes does not work!
Then slackyd is possibly an alternative.

For example: chromium-74
via usm failed:

slackyd: a simple but efficient package manager

Post#69 by Kulle » 13 Jun 2019, 14:14

Slackyd is often very useful.
With a lot of dependencies, however, things get complicated.
e.g. VLC
Result:
Gcc-9.1.0-x86_64-6.txz, gcc-g + +-9.1.0-x86_64-6.txz, ... Vlc-3.0.7-x86_64-1alien.txz
That's a total of 10 txz files.
And you then have to run 10 times txz2xzm.
And then you habe to merge all 10 modules together to vlc.xzm.
Surely there is a script for that?
I searched but didn't find.

Good post donald. You should immigrate in Québec, SQC (Société québécoise du cannabis) is the top institution in Québec. If you come in Québec, Montréal, I have a place for you to stay at least for a few days. :beer:

I looked at http://www.slackware.at/ and it says among other things

For stats about the server itself have a look at http://mirror.inode.at
Trying to open http://mirror.inode.at I get this

I look into /etc/slackyd/slackyd.conf now if servers can be taken out of its config.
