Hello,
first, I a new to Slackware, but I use Ubuntu/Debian for years, so I
maybe ask "stupid" questions regarding it.

It is a fresh installation (today in VirtualBox).
I installed it and I want to use slackpkg to install packages.
I have tried different mirrors, but the verification is a problem.

CHECKSUMS.md5.asc 100%[======================>] 163 --.-KB/s
in 0s

2022-08-16 16:32:48 (19.4 MB/s) -
‘/tmp/slackpkg.EKjZ2u/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc’ saved [163]

ERROR: Verification of the gpg signature on
CHECKSUMS.md5 failed! This could mean that the file is
out of date or has been tampered with. If you use
mirrors.slackware.com as your mirror, this could also
mean that the mirror to which you got redirected is not
yet updated with the most recent changes in the
Slackware tree.

This happens when I use ftp.
ftp://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-15.0/ is in the mirrors file.
I have tried different mirrors, all the same.

What can I do to fix this?

I also noticed that the Let's Encrypt SSL cert is missing, so many
HTTPS connections will fail with wget, like some mirrors.
Is that intended?

I solved the checksum problem of slackpkg by running

gpg --fix-trustdb
slackpkg update gpg

The LE-Cert is still missing, I could add this manually, but is this
really the recommended way or did I something wrong while installing it?

You can learn how to do things the hard way or you can read this:
https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:beginners_guide

And then if you still have questions come on back, you're always welcome.

Did you install *everything* ?

I've run into issues with slackpkg because (despite what the 'minimal
slackware install' links tell you) it's interdependent with a *lot* of
stuff.

Another potential problem is some mirrors aren't quite as fast at coming
up to date.

Those are the only probs I've had with slackpkg..

No, I didn't install a desktop environment, games etc.
It is a test system first, only CLI at this time.

I just wonder why things like the Let's encrypt certificate are missing.

Thanks for that link, I was aware of the wiki itself and already found
some information.

Thanks.

If you decide to add more packages you can use the mirror in your
current install, it's "slackpkg install slackware64" or "slackpkg
install slackware" for 32bit.

What does this?
Does it install all packages that are listed in the setup?
Does that install all packages from all categories?

If you do #slackpkg update and then #slackpkg install slackware64 it
will let you install every missing package, your choice, there will be
check box, check or uncheck. You can also learn to use the
/etc/slackpkg/blacklist where can have permanent control over what is
not going to be installed, in other words any package blacklisted will
not be offered to be installed or upgraded.

blacklist

With this command, you can "blacklist" certain packages. Packages
blacklisted can't be installed, upgraded, or removed using the slackpkg
utility. If you want to remove some package from the blacklist, you will
need to edit /etc/slackpkg/blacklist.
