Thanks bofh28 you were spot on,

I downloaded the packages from http:||packages.slackware.it and it worked beautifully.

Thanks mate

Hi,

Just a note, if anyone knows of the top of their head why this might happen, I upgraded backtrack using slapt-get --upgrade and now after a reboot startx won't work.

Any Ideas

Thanks

Here is how I fixed mine, very easy fix
I went in and deleted slapt-get
Went to FastTrack, and installed slapt-get from FastTrack, and updated it
Works Great

i have a fresh install, updated slapt-get, reinstalled gslapt, and got this:

gslapt: symbol lookup error: gslapt: undefined symbol: slapt_init_source_list

...huh? anyone know what this is all about?

I had the same problem just :
"slapt-get --install slapt-get-0.9.12c-i486-1as" - upgrade the slapt-get.
"slapt-get --add-keys" - get new keys

hi

I had the terrible trouble getting slapt to work i did the following. I am not saying this is all the answers but it might help someone. I kept getting an error, and because gslapt depends on slapt. it will not work either.

pjottrr said download this but as a newbie what do i do next so after some research.I worked it out.
(the url is in a previous post.I have not posted on this forum enough and it will not let me copy the url. .) look for pjottrr post.


Then doubleclicked it and extracted the file to a folder.
Open a termial and goto where you placed the folder.
Make
Make install
cd /etc/slapt-get
cp slapt-getrc.new slapt-getrc

Then I slapt-get --update and it works great.

With the BT3 beta all I had to do was:
