What is the deal with "slackpkg"? A mixed blessing?
by rdx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#567Y4)
A while back I installed Slackware64 14.2. I discovered that several browsers, eg, Opera, Chromium, didn't work. Firefox and Seamonkey did work so I used them. Other programs, such as audacity worked nicely and others. Then I ran slackpkg for the first time (to get discord to work). After that, the browsers worked but other programs like audacity are now broken. This is not really helpful, honestly I need audacity more than chromium.
I have been told to bow down to the computer god and serve it, that my problems are due to my neglect of service to the machine. My POV is that the computer is here to serve me, not I it. All of this seems to have begun with Slackware 14.2 and I have been using previous releases without incident for many years. So what happened? Why did the Windoz virus of constant updates infect Slackware?
