The fix for wget problem has been resolved now with the latest update

Sun Jul 15 01:40:08 UTC 2012
Juggle a few things around so that slackpkg won't fall over while upgrading
from 13.37 or an earlier -current:
a/aaa_elflibs-14.0-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't include libcrypto.so.0 and libssl.so.0 in here.
The openssl-solibs package is a better place for them.
a/openssl-solibs-1.0.1c-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Moved the old 0.9.8x libraries here.
n/openssl-1.0.1c-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
n/wget-1.13.4-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Prefer linking with OpenSSL, since the license allows it.
This is less of a moving target than GnuTLS.
Thanks for the updates!
There seems to be a problem with the new mkinitrd. The /init script reports "/sbin/udevadm not found" in lines 303, 307 and 308 during boot.
Yeah, I see the same thing and now my slackware -current won't boot. I'm using lvm and I get some error like could not mount myvg to /mnt. Had to use systemrescue to boot slackware. I still don't have a fix for this. Anyone?
I have a similar problem, I can't boot with the generic kernel. I created the initrd with
Code:
mkinitrd -c -u -k 3.2.23-smp -m ext4
That normally works, I just added the -u since I thought the missing udevadm is causing the issue, but that didn't help. It throws out an error-message that it couldn't mount /dev on /mnt because it isn't a block-device.
The huge kernel works without issues.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Anyone having trouble with the new version of NetworkManager? It is telling me my wireless card doesn't exist. I then installed wicd and the card does work, and it works in Xp.

I had the same issue when I first upgraded too. I fount out it was because I was somehow missing libnl3. Everything's working fine now.

Just upgraded, getting this one too when trying to boot with 3.2.23.
I can boot with my own 3.4.4 kernel, but I notice udevadm trigger trying to import the 'blkid' builtin and failing. Doesn't hamper with anything else though...
