[SOLVED] pkgtools not to be found on a fresh Slackware -current install
by skanker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52SSA)
Hi there fellow slackers!
I just downloaded (yesterday actually) and installed (today) a fresh version of Slackware -current from alienbase.nl. I'm not very familiar with -current, but I noticed two problems until now.
First problem : when updating slackpkg, the script told me that my version was not -current but 14.2 (because I was retrieving from a -current mirror, of course).
Second problem, for which I'm asking for your guidance, it appears that pkgtools are nowhere to be found (see attached screenshot). I checked it with locate, and indeed, the script isn't there on my system, although "setup" went pretty smoothly and with nothing noticeable (let's just make it clear that I'm not a pure noob, I have installed Slackware - both stable, current, and live iso's - for like a hundred of times in my life at least).
So I downloaded the package but now I'm confronted with a classical loop problem : how to install this install script without itself? I should use "setup" I guess, in order to succeed?... But how exactly?
Thanks in advance.
