Mirrors are located in '/etc/slackpkg/mirrors' file - i.e. NOT slackpkg.conf

for Slackware ARM 14.2 - http://slackware.uk/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-14.2/

for Slackware ARM current - http://slackware.uk/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-current/

After entering these URLs, slackpkg is updating its database properly. But at the end I got this error message:

Formatting list to slackpkg style...
Package List: using CHECKSUMS.md5 as source
sort: /lib/libc.so.6: `GLIB_2.32' not found (required by sort)
Package descriptions

What is the output of:

Code:

~# slackpkg search glibc

?

Try this as root:

Code:

cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-current/slackware/a/glibc-solibs-2.32-arm-1.txz
tar xf glibc-solibs-2.32-arm-1.txz -C/
sh /install/doinst.sh
ldconfig

Then upgradepkg a/glibc-solibs and l/glibc again.
