Messed up with slackpkg
 
Hey guys, still a bit of a linux noob here. I messed up when I chose my server for slackpkg updates, I chose one for Slackware13 rather then Slackware13 64. This caused some issues when I accepted the updates. I got a fair bit up and running again, but one thing that seems to be messed up is my cron.hourly scripts. I am not entirely sure what happened, but they are not running. I was hoping someone here might have some insights as to what I could do. Thanks.

Boot from a Slackware64 installation DVD. Mount the partition that has your Slackware installation. Find out which packages got replaced with 64-bit versions:
Code:

grep /mount point/var/log/packages | grep x86_64
Use upgradepkg to replace them with the 32-bit versions again.

Actually I think he chose an x86 mirror for his 64bit install. So 'grep -v x86_64' might be better. )P.S In theory you can ignore any "noarch" packages but it wouldn't hurt to re-install those just to be sure.
