a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-67.txz: Rebuilt. mkinitrd: only copy ld-linux-*so*, not ld-*so*, which also catches ld-lsb-*so*. There's evidently some third party package that creates /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> /lib64/ld-linux-x64-64.so.2 and because the link isn't simply to ld-linux-x64-64.so.2, this results in an infinite symlink loop in the initrd causing a "No working init found" failure. Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina, Olek, and cwizardone. l/SDL2-2.32.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/SDL2_image-2.8.6-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/SDL3-3.2.6-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/liboggz-1.1.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/libqalculate-5.5.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/netpbm-11.09.03-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/vte-0.78.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/nghttp2-1.65.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. extra/slackpkg+/slackpkg+-1.8.1-noarch-1alien.txz: Added. I've avoided shipping this package in the past because third party repositories have been the cause of breakage in the past (for example, a third party ffmpeg with the wrong shared library versions can break quite a few other packages). This kind of issue is more common with -current, where there can be quite a bit of shared library soname churn, but incompatibilities can happen with -stable as well. But what is worse than that is when the software itself doesn't even work as advertised, so now that alienBOB has kindly stepped up to fix the known bugs in slackpkg+, we'll add it to /extra so that folks can know where to get a properly working version. But please be aware that a Slackware package can do anything that it wants to your system, so make sure that you trust any repositories that you use and know how to solve some of the common problems that might occur. As always, we are not responsible for issues caused by third party packages. Thanks to phenixia2003 and zerouno for much of the work on this plugin, and big thanks to alienBOB for volunteering to maintain it.
