Ok here we go a wonderful blob of scripts that will break a distro upgrade to the usres that just want it to work.
upgrade slackpkg and you need to do a slackpkg update HOW manY times.

Script is nice enough to not! remove mirrors and blacklist.
but to ask for another update wow looking at this come on it is already done and now people run in circles.

wonderful tool that will break a distro upgrade. simple as slackpkg update slackpkg install-new slackpkg upgrade all.
took what 7 years or more before Pat let it in.
So bro fix the issue you do not need to update it the script does not need to delete the update. it is a script not a data base. The mirror is the same. fix your blob.

Slackpkg updates to another version should not cause this break down.
Oh!!! when installing my package I deleted something ??? mmmmm.
a slacker beginner knows a little but do not stress them fix what your package deletes. Big jump to 15.0 think simple.
or we just are left with
~~~
#!/bin/sh
for dir in a ap d e f k kde l n t tcl x xap xfce y ; do
( cd $dir ; upgradepkg --install-new *.t?z )
done
~~~
insatll
echo slackpkg version update.

echo slackpkg version update must run slackpkg update "again"
sleep 5
this is old news watching to see how you handle this for a while.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Thank you

If you do use it, use it like this.

You're welcome. I'm always willing to fix bugs, but could not parse any sensible bug reports in your rant.

There's also slackroll.

Are you using slackware-current ?

slackpkg is smart enough these days to simply run as (root):

You should always check the log first.

Normally only needed with first time.
# slackpkg update gpg

Sync with the mirror.
# slackpkg update

Install new 'Added' Slackware packages. Rare with stable versions.
# slackpkg install-new.

Upgrade everything (Slackware packages only) that is installed. The tools used for slackpkg are upgraded first. If slackpkg is upgraded, it will be first and slackpkg will exit with instructions to run again.
# slackpkg upgrade-all

Clean out removed Slackware packages and those 'non-slack' packages not in blacklist.
# slackpkg clean-system

The first time that I run slackpkg on a new installation I issue the following command: slackpkg update gpg

Then:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all

@Drakeo, you'd probably get more useful help (if you're looking for that?) without the stream-of-consciousness style posting.

You really need to stop this. If you want anyone to still treat you as a serious person, you need to start giving us:

1. Actual commandlines you executed
2. The (error) results
3. What did you modify in slackpkg.conf, mirrors and blacklist files?
4. Are you using the slackpkg+ extension
5. And what again was the OS? slackware-current?
6. ET CETERA!

Then we can talk. Until that time, boo hoo.
