how can recover system after update from current?


Hi all,
updated my slackware 14.1 from current. After update forgot slackpkg clean-system. After restart the system is messed - cant start xwindow. So choosed a new mirror to update (not from current list) and now cannot update system. Type slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update , and this enters with error : verification of the gpg on the checksum.md
When type slackpkg install-new or slackpkg upgrade-all and slackpkg clean-system it pops a message like i need gpg key. So how can i and how can recover the system or it is better to reinstall
Thank you in advans

If you can boot to the command line, then you should be able to recover.
Check your /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file to ensure that you are pointing to an appropriate mirror for the version and architecture (32bit or 64bit) that you want. The upgrade has likely installed a new mirrors file that needs to edited.
Then try 'slackpkg update gpg' again. If it still fails, I would manually download and reinstall the slackpkg package.
For further details, see http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:slackpkg
Note the steps shown for a full system upgrade.

PS - This thread would be better in the Slackware forum.
