[Slapt-get-user] Not Working As Expected

   Following the directions on the web site for enhancing
/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc, I added more repositories:

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
EXCLUDE=kernel-ide,kernel-source,kernel-headers,kernel-modules,lilo,.*-[0-9]dl$,devs
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/
SOURCE=http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/10.2/
SOURCE=http://www.linuxpackages.net/download.php?id=7528
SOURCE=http://mirror.datapipe.net/norlug/frg/frg-2.12.3/
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.brownjava.org/pub/frg/frg-2.12.3/

   Now, when I run 'slapt-get --update' I see the following:

and

   Are the failures to parse package data and download sources due to
something I've not done correctly? How do I fix these problems?

   And, if I want to get gnucash-2.0.1 (from either linuxpackages.net or
gsb.freerock.org), do I use 'slapt-get --install gnucash-2.0.1' as the
command line syntax?

TIA,

Rich
