swaret --dep question


well today i decided to do update my slack 9.1 to current. everything went well until swaret skipped like 20 pkg's at the end. so i did a swaret --update and swaret -- upgrade
swaret said that everything was up to date. so i did swaret --dep and it gave me a rather large list of lib's that were missing. my question is how can i go about getting these lib's ? here is a few lines of the output swaret --dep gave me :

Listing missing Packages...
Search for (libgnome-keyring.so.0), needed by 'acme-2.4.0-i486-1'!
Search for (libgnome-keyring.so.0), needed by 'bug-buddy-2.6.1-i486-1'!

Search for (libxklavier.so.8), needed by 'gnome-applets-2.6.1-i486-1'!

this is just a part of that list. the list is rather large.

uncomment the following line in your swaret.conf
Code:
#REPOS_ROOT=LinuxPackagesDOTNET%ftp://ftp.linuxpackages.net/pub/Slackware-9.1
as for the missing packages.. im not sure if it matters but when you ran swaret --upgrade .. did you use the -a option (im not sure if it is needed, but its how i do it.)
Code:
swaret --upgrade -a
i usually run this 3 or 4 times to be sure that i got everything.. sometimes it will miss packages..

try that and then run swaret --dep again and see if that helps.

using swaret --dep should automatically try to download libs.

What I had to do is change the top DEP_ROOT= to one of the mirrors from ROOT=

It was trying to search the mirrors in DEP_ROOT for libs, and the mirrors listed are mirrors for swaret to upgrade itself.. Hope that helps :/
