You need the GPG key of Slackware Linux Project
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EGJY)
I've just attempted to upgrade my Slackware-Current. It said I needed a new slackpkg and I needed to copy slackpkg.conf.new to slackpkg.conf and rerun. I did so, but it then said I needed a new gpg key. So, I ran 'slackpkg update gpg'. Now I get "You need the GPG key of Slackware Linux Project ...", and am advised to run'slackpkg update gpg' again, but the upgrade still fails with the same error. This issues has been posted elsewhere, https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...pg-4175603573/ and https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...48#post6052148, but neither thread end up with a satisfactory solution.
The first thread suggested removing the redirect to /dev/null in the line:
Code:# gpg --yes --batch --delete-key "$SLACKKEY" &>/dev/null
gpg --yes --batch --delete-key "$SLACKKEY"to see what exactly is the error, which I did and I get the error:
Code:gpg: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.8)That lib is present on this system, though apparently not version GLIBC_2.33.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I have another Slackware-Current system I want to update, but dare not until I can figure this out.
