_that_ is when upgrade aaa_glibc-solibs MUST come first and then install-new comes _second_.

And in cases where wget comes into play for upgrade-all, DOWNLOAD_ALL=on is required.

I've added the "slackpkg download slackware64" line to my post above which solves the main problem (wget failing). I still don't recommend doing the second upgrade-all...as since it's such a long step, I'd rather do it once and walk away and have it fully complete, rather than fail halfway and do it again.

Good thread.

Well, if nothing else, many thanks to Petri,
this thread has resulted in a set of steps that work to correctly upgrade from 15.0 to current.

That 2nd running of 'slackpkg upgrade-all' is required.

As you'll see, after slackpkg itself gets upgraded,
it displays the massage that the upgrade process must be started over.

Code:

	Package slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-2.txz is already in cache - not downloading
	Upgrading slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-2...

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
# slackpkg (Slackware package upgrade manager)
#
# Slackpkg is an upgrade manager for Slackware packages. It can
# download, upgrade, install, and remove selected packages using an
# official Slackware package repository. With it, you can also
# search in the Slackware Package database and find which package
# has the selected file.
#
# Slackpkg DOES NOT replace the Slackware pkgtools; actually,
# Slackpkg uses pkgtools for the install/upgrade/remove functions.
#
Executing install script for slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-2.txz.
Package slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-2.txz installed.
Package slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-1 upgraded with new package ./slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-2.txz.
slackpkg was upgraded - you will need start the upgrade process again...

BTW... your 'slackpkg download slackware64' will take a TON of time because that will download EVERY package
in tree that's not blacklisted whether or not it needs to be upgraded.

Which it has to be done anyways, so just do it first (it can also be moved down to just before install-new. You also missed my statement about upgrading pkgtools and slackpkg by themselves first which is better than upgrading it mid process (and no 2nd upgrade-all that way).

upgrade-all downloads and installs _only_ those packages which need to be upgraded.

'slackpkg download slackware64' downloads _ALL_ packages... over 3GIGs worth.

That includes all packages that _DO NOT_ need to be upgraded
_PLUS_ all packages that are not even installed at-all.

In this particular case... 1524 files totaling 1.7GIGs were downloaded that did not need to be.

As to slackpkg & pkgtools....

That does not happen mid-process..... slackpkg & pkgtools _ARE_ the very first 2 that get upgraded _BEFORE_ any others.
