Hi Dag (contactus at dudcore.net),

I am assuming you are running -current.  The libidn package was added as a dependency in the
last version, 0.9.9d, since curl in -current is compiled against it.  You did see libidn in the
--dist-upgrade transaction?  Maybe the symlink to /usr/lib/libidn.so.11 wasn't created by the
doinst.sh properly.  It should have:

# tar xzf ./slackware/l/libidn-0.5.8-i486-1.tgz install/doinst.sh -O
( cd usr/lib ; rm -rf libidn.so )
( cd usr/lib ; ln -sf libidn.so.11.5.1 libidn.so )
( cd usr/lib ; rm -rf libidn.so.11 )
( cd usr/lib ; ln -sf libidn.so.11.5.1 libidn.so.11 )

That is the only lead I can come up with if in fact libidn was installed but still didn't
provide /usr/lib/libidn.so.11.

The linuxpackages version is older, 0.5.4-i486-1taj to 0.5.8-i486-1.  So you may want to stick
with the one in -current.

> I also get another error after having run --dist-upgrade;
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
>   gthumb: Depends: libpng >= 1.2.7-i486-1pcx

The author of that gthumb package is specifying libpng >= 1.2.7-i486-1pcx as a dependency but
it looks like that package isn't available on linuxpackages.net.  The author could just use >=
1.2.7 and left off the rest so it could fall back on the libpng package from slackware -current
proper.

> Apart from that, great work with slapt-get, a very nice application! :)

Thanks.  glad you find it useful.


take care,
jason
