Works fine here. I'd love to know the secret - I made multiple attempts to compile libexif (the main dependency for gtkam) and failed every time. Still don't know why I couldn't get it to build.

  I just reinstalled VL 6.0 (upgrade to alpha 0.22). And now I have a problem - attempting to reinstall gtkam, I get an unmet dependency for libexif-gtk. Attempting to install it gets me an error. It worked earlier.....

Code:

t42vl://home/tooth
root:# slapt-get --install gtkam

Excluding gtkam, use --ignore-dep to override
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

root:# slapt-get --install libexif-gtk

No such package: libexif-gtk

I can get round the problem, since I have libexif-gtk in local cache, but I'm wondering why it has vanished from the repo?

I have had a problem with 6.0 Light alpha 0.9 where even though the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc file points to the veclinux-current repository (6.0 repository) it pulls packages from 5.9.  I've also had problems where slapt-get/gslapt sometimes finds the gsb part of the 6.0 repository and sometimes it doesn't.  The problem appears to be with slapt-get and gslapt and I suspect that's what you're running into.  I seriously doubt any libraries have been removed from the repo.

There's something a bit strange about this one. The package that I got earlier in the day is as below:

libexif-gtk-0.3.5-i586-2gsb.tlz

so it seems to be a 6.0, but from the Gnome Standard Build branch. Odd also, it downloaded to /packages/libraries, instead of the more normal /packages/libs. I've checked, and I do have the gsb repo enabled, so I'm not at all sure what is going on with that one.
