Some of you may read this and go, “DUH you fucking idiot”…., and for others might go… “Oh SHIT, thanks for the reminder!”.
A couple weeks ago I decided to upgrade to -current. One thing I forgot about was what I did when I first installed all the multi-lib packages. I blacklisted all the glibc and gcc packages. So during the upgrade, none of them got upgraded to currents version and I was running into weird problems when trying to compile some of the programs I make SlackBuilds for.
So, if you are upgrading to -current and have multi-lib packages DON’T FORGET to also grab the -current multi-lib packages before dropping to telinit 1 to update or just remove the blacklisting from slackpkg if you use that to update/upgrade between versions like I did.
