You can ignore the "glibc-solibs". I have seen this message (i thought it was a dependency) when successfully using Gslapt. I have never found it to be "locked" though.

Somewhere on the forum, someone has explained that it is something to do with Slackware.

Before acting on my info, which could be wrong, i will try it out tonight and get back to you. I did find a link to the file:

I cannot ignore glibc-solibs because Gslapt will not install any program that needs it.

glibc-solibs is blacklisted because you can't simply upgrade to another version without upgrading lots of other stuff at the same time -and even then it is very rsiky to do an auto-upgrade on a system which is not designed for that (like slackware and puppy).

:D Hello,
From another thread:
Quickly I found that Puppy does not have the right glibc-solibs..(2.5)
and it is locked out from Gslapt..(for good reason)..

So I hunted it all down, and installed it to Puppy...

DO NOT DO THIS....
Glibc is tightly integrated into Puppy, and messing with it.....well..
Severely broke Puppy.. RIP

Good thing I expected it to, and used a copy of my Puppy to test it...
@Try Puppy 3.01...Gslapt works better on it, and complains less...

Puppyluvr makes a good point that Puppy 3 series was built with slackware in mind. If you need/want Puppy 4, there is a special Gslapt for Puppy 4 on this page...i couldn't find it before or i would have posted it. It might be worth a try. If the one method doesn't work you can try the other.

You might find that the program works with one of these methods without installing glibc-solibs, idk...try running it and see what happens, otherwise, i'm out of ideas.

:D Hello,
Yea, I tried the GlibC-solibs upgrade on a Puppy 4.12 install...
In went fine...and broke almost everything...
ROX, JWM, RXVT, ect...
Trying to boot to the CLI produced a long slew of errors..
The list of what it didnt break would have been much shorter...
R.I.P.
