Hi,
I'm using slapt-get 0.9.8. I've used rsync to create an inhouse slackware mirror, as I have multiple slackware machines to keep updated. Now I have synced up with the latest patches, but when I run slapt-get --upgrade (after having done an --update of course) on the server holding the mirror, I get the following output:
Reading Package Lists... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
kernel-ide kernel-modules alsa-driver
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 12138K of archives.
After unpacking 0K of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [y/N] y

md5 checksum for kernel-ide is not correct!
So I run the checksums by hand like so:
moc@anansi:/home/ftp/slackware/slackware-9.1/patches$ md5sum -c \ CHECKSUMS.md5 | less
Key snippets of the output are as follows:
./FILE_LIST: OK
./MANIFEST.bz2: OK
./PACKAGES.TXT: OK
./packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz: OK
./packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz.asc: OK
./packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.txt: OK
So a manual md5sum works. Then I did a gpg --verify on the kernel-ide-2.4.24 package, an excerpt follows:
gpg: Signature made Tue Jan 6 22:22:27 2004 GMT using DSA key ID 40102233
gpg: Good signature from "Slackware Linux Project <security@slackware.com>"
Quite frankly, I am perplexed as to what is going on here and am reluctant to override using -no-md5 until I understand what is happening.
Any ideas?
If it helps, the command I'm using to keep the patches directory of my inhouse mirror up to date is as follows:
rsync -Pvptrl --delete \ rsync://rsync.mirror.ac.uk/ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.\1/patches/ /home/ftp/slackware/slackware-9.1/patches/
