Hello

I am trying to update a Slackware 13.1 system using slackpkg update

But i am getting am error with CHECKSUM.md5 stating that it is either out of date or has been tampered with.

I have tried lots of different mirrors from etc/slackpkg/mirrors - They all return this error.

How do i fix this problem ?

you could try removing the contents of /var/lib/slackpkg

Code:

rm /var/lib/slackpkg/*

I think you can disable checksum. Check this link:

It was a date/time issue. Fixed the date in BIOS and everything is fine now.
