Hi,

I've just installed -current with kde 4.4.3 alien packages.
The problem is that akonadi complains: "qtSql is missing".

Please, help.

As the current release now includes KDE 4.4.3 I presume you have added Alien Bob's packages to an old copy of current. That is to say older than the update a day or so ago.

If you install current you really should update it as the updates are released but in this case I would simply select a mirror for slackpkg and run "slackpkg update && slackpkg install-new && slackpkg upgrade-all " as this should fix up your package lack. You seem to be missing the PyQt package but running the slackpkg command should fix this.

Be carefull. I followed your advice and in fact downgraded some apps (today earlier I used rsync_mirror script by AlienBob).
Slackpkg used Belgium belnet mirror. So the question is which mirrors are up to time.

But of course many thanks for response. But now I wonder: slackpkg vs. AlienBob scripts? Which is better to use?

Alien Bob's scripts are admittedly excellent and very useful to maintain a local copy of the Slackware tree however if you use the same source for this and the slackpkg command then they both will use the same versions of packages. Slackpkg is just easier for regularly updating Slackware from the tree - particularly useful for keeping current up to date. if you wish to create an iso of current then maintaining a local copy of the mirror is obviously neccesary and here the scripts are invaluable.
I don't really follow you here. Are you saying that applying packages from your local mirror ,(created with Alien Bob's scripts), gave newer packages that Slackpkg did? If that's the case it seems like a slow mirror in your slackpkg configuration. Slackpkg will use whatever you have it set up for.

In any case the "Slacpkg install-new " should have got you the PyQt package which you seemed to be lacking.
