I am new to Slackware and I just installed 12.0. I have installed 3rd party drivers and it looks like my hardware is working. I started to upgrade packages and went to:
http://www.slackware.com/security/li...ecurity&y=2007
and:
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/dis...ches/packages/
i have downloaded and upgraded all the packages but one after checking their md5sum.
pkg kdegraphics fails the md5sum as follows:

updates# md5sum kdegraphics-3.5.7-i486-2_slack12.0.tgz
7c118f32d2089cd6de2f0d26be8f783b kdegraphics-3.5.7-i486-2_slack12.0.tgz

the sum at:
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/dis.../CHECKSUMS.md5
is:
11baa1865cc585fdd7675841b451ea9b ./packages/kdegraphics-3.5.7-i486-2_slack12.0.tgz

I've downloaded this twice and get the same results. Is this the correct place to bring this up and if not where should go.

thanks

Your md5sum is correct -- the mirror seems to have a broken package. Get it from another mirror and mail the people at usc.edu that something is wrong with their Slackware mirror

Thanks
I did as you said and sent them e-mail.
thanks again
