Ran slackpkg upgrade-all again
Finished with warning:
One of more errors occurred while slackpkg was running:
/usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh: line 18: /bincat: No

Is bincat something important?
Dick,
I've not had that error message show up here in the 15 years I've run
slackware, so ignore it. There's no bincat on my systems so I'd not worry
about it. Here, it's not in core-functions.sh.
Ignoring works for me. I hope to remain blissful.
I don't recall how to sign up for security patch notices,
They use [email protected]
subscribe slackware-security
which I have done.
but running
slackpkg update once a week will compare what's installed with what's
in the
change logs on the repository you use (I assume it's
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/.2/slackware/slackware64-14.2/), if there's
nothing new
the script will tell you this. If there are upgraded packages follow
that by
slackpkg upgrade-all.
The non-security patches aren't announced via e-mail, but security
upgrades are. So checking once a week is good enough to keep things
patched.
I'll keep that in mind. This laptop will be living down in the living
room, so I'll need to pay closer attention to it.
Thanks.
