As discussed elsewhere PPM fails in this puppy because it can not find any dependencies.
The way Slackware packages are build, provide dependencies only with the official version database (13.37, 14.1 etc). The other databases like "patches" and "current" do not have dependencies because presumably the packages are installed on the top of a running system where all the dependencies are installed.
PPM has code to give priority to patches over stable and this could be adapted for current too.
But you need slackware-14.1-official for the dependencies to be found and make sure you have this in COMPAT_REPOS too.
I think that the DISTRO_ SPECS should also say 14.1 but you have to check after the above changes are made.
VLC in particular found the Qt dependency correctly.
I am not using anything from slackware-14.1 - only from puppy-14.1
