Ah! Ah!
Those that I added to the basic xfce desktop system. I have done that for most of them except google-chrome and devel.

And now it works.

Some dependencies or links are missing.

It seems that it needs a full slackware install. Isn't?

Having dependencies missing is quite the opposite of what slpkg claims

or does slpkg -t slonly mean it calculates the dependencies upon a full slonly installation and not upon your local system?

[beny]

hi Rava and francois if you do the same action on the salix repository you can see the real list of the deps that gnumeric need and are: goffice, cups,
libgsf,krb5, the hint is choose a better repository,but i can be wrong.

[Rava]

if you do the same action on the salix repository you can see the real

How does one do that?
By a command line parameter?
Or by editing its config file?

[francois]

@rava:

Change:
/home/guest# slpkg -t slonly gnumeric
for
/home/guest# slpkg -t salix gnumeric

@rava:
sudo slpkg repo-list is to show which repo is enabled

sudo slpkg repo-add permits enabling of those that are not enabled.

[Rava]

Thanks beny and francois for the heads up, too tired right now to try it out, I hope I remember it at the beginning of next week. Alternatively I can use futureme.org for my lame brain to remind itself… choices choices.

[francois]

Very good news:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... age17.html

Sboui could be used as an interface for slpkg, meaning that ponce and alien repo and many other repo sbo could be available.

Thanks to risitis.

i post my solution for slpkg under Porteus 5.1 : slpkg for porteus 5.1: getting it to work.

[francois]

@inukaze:
This is very good news.

With slpkg and the additionnal repositories available over those from slapt-get (salix only). We get a subtantial increase in the available pasture for porteus.

slpkg offers both binaries and sbo. This is very good.

Slackware people often say that using multiple repo will break the system.

With porteus, this is not a big issue. You break the system with a new package, you just remove the module.

Thanks.
