Thanks! I've selected it from there, then saved a copy of it from /tmp for later offline installation. I may see if I can make a .pet of it. cheers

Hmmm, just looking at the packages it looks like quite a bit going on under the hood - not an easy drag 'n 'drop upgrade of a few libs. Lots of certificates to be removed, renamed and replaced. If you are trying to do a manual install offline is it as simple as clicking the /install/doinst.sh?

(I was hoping to insert this upgrade into a slacko-based pup I am manually remastering)

Should I just leave this to the devs and see if someone makes a .pet?

A list of the files included in the slack packages can be found 2/3 of the way down the page here:
http://pkgs.org/slackware-14.0/slackwar ... 0.txz.html
(keep clicking 'show more')
Seems like a huge list of files.

Hi, does anyone have a wget pet addressing the recent vulnerabilities please? My installed version is 1.14 and that seems to be all that is available in the slacko14 and update repositories. Looking for 1.16 if available.

Thanks rg66. Turns out I got the same problem with your pet as I did with the other v 1.16 pets i had tried - wget still failed.
If anyone else with Slacko 5.6 has wget failure after installing updates please have a look at 8Geee's fix (and the posts around it) here

It seems to be a problem with an incorrectly named (or missing) lib symlink.
