Gslapt errors

[purehate]

slapt-get --add-keys does nothing

[Archangel-Amael]

When changing your sources in the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:
file it may be best to find a mirror that is close you and use that one instead.
here is the link to the mirrors that host slackware
http://www.slackware.com/getslack/
that way you get one that is closer or faster.

also make sure that you get the link for the 12.0 or "current" sources

Can I also point out this isn't glsapt its slapt-get gslapt is the gui for slapt-get.

slapt-get --install gslapt

Might be a bit better as it's abit easier to use and search packages ETC.

@ purehate --add-keys does it retrieves the GPG keys.

I tried that guys fix because muts wanted me to gather all the fixes in one place on the wiki but the add keys flag does not work and its not listed under slapt get help so I can only assume it doesnt work. The author of that post needs to make himself more clear and add some documentation if he wants it fixed in bt3 final.

Here's what I did to resolve this problem:

edit file /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:

comment out all "SOURCE" entries to become this:
#SOURCE=..........
#SOURCE=...........

and append:

SOURCE=..............


Works fine with me...............................

But i used the cmd==== #slapt-get --dist-upgrade --no-md5
Works for me also thanks alot
