Critical vulnerability in pre-1.16 versions of wget fixed
5.6 draws from Slack-14, correct? I'm guessing this *patched version* should be in your PPM..

Sorry for being VERY late, but I recently noticed a small issue in slacko 5.7-nonpae puppy. I installed the pet, and before S/D checked that it did install, which did happen. Unfortunately, on reboot, there was one missing dependency
libpcre.so.1
Not to worry, a rename during the copy of the symlink seems to have solved.
NOTE if you have installed the pet run wget --version
If it still indicates 1.14 then do the proceedure below
disregarding "BEFORE...."
BEFORE applying the wget upgrade
1.) Open Rox and navigate to /usr/lib and find the symlink named libpcre.so
2.) Right-Click and select COPY
3.) EDIT the name to libpcre.so.1
4.) OK
Not sure if its a "me" problem or general. Posted JIC.

Hi Semme - I'm confused about those updates - they look like they are v 1.14 which I already had prior to updating to v1.16Semme wrote:5.6 draws from Slack-14, correct?

Turns out 8Geee has put his finger on the perl issue that is stopping v1.16 wget running on my system:
Thanks 8Geee - solved my problem too (on Slacko 5.6)8Geee wrote: libpcre.so.1

Because current binaries are usually paired with newer libs, upgrades aren't always practical. Hence, we patch.

Think I'd steer you wrong? Of course not! It's these *packagers* you've gotta watch out for..

Aaahh, ok, I think I understand now - whack! whack! slap, slap, faceplant, slap! Look for patches not necessarily upgrades. Whack! Whack!Semme wrote:Because current binaries are usually paired with newer libs, upgrades aren't always practical. Hence, we patch.

Right - I've got it now.
Thx!
