[Slapt-get-user] Not Working As Expected

[Jason Woodward]

Hi Rich,

This is not a valid package source.  Package sources are locations that point to a remote
directory that contains the packages, along with PACKAGES.TXT and CHECKSUMS.md5.  If you visit
this URL you'll see it is a page that contains links to mirrors of the top level FRG directory.
 This is also redundant with the following links.

> SOURCE=http://mirror.datapipe.net/norlug/frg/frg-2.12.3/
> SOURCE=ftp://ftp.brownjava.org/pub/frg/frg-2.12.3/

These both point to the same source which needs only be specified once.

You should only need to specify 'slapt-get --install gnucash'.  If you really mean to specify
the version, you want it in the form of 'slapt-get --install gnucash-2.0.1-i486-1frg'.


HTH,
