Slsckpkg "Dialog Box" Problem


Hi All, I have been away from linux for about 4 years, I just got PC & riped windows xp <yuck> out and installed slackware 12.2...... I am having a problem with the slackpkg dialog box. When I turn off the dialog box in slackpkg.conf slackpkg works fine.... when I try to use the dialog box I get the following error screen:

Looking for jre in package list. Please wait... DONE

Searching for NEW configuration files
No .new files found.

Does anyone have a clue ? am I missing a package slackpkg needs?

Thanks,

Have you got the right release commented out in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors?
I've only used slackpkg from the CLI.
