   Hey Benny!   
      
    MK>> I've never heard anyone using slackware ever complain about the   
    MK>> lack of proprietary apps before.   
      
    BP> its like windows 10 never miss explore 11   
      
   Huh?  I always though the Debian crowd to be more of the MS-ish types.   
      
    BP> revdep-rebuild fix if some precompiled installs fails with   
    BP> ldd /bin/bash   
      
   I have never seen that happen but now that you bring it up;   
      
     # ldd /bin/bash | tr -d '\t'   
     linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc85bf0000)   
     libreadline.so.8 => /lib/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007f9c5f829000)   
     libhistory.so.8 => /lib/libhistory.so.8 (0x00007f9c5f81d000)   
     libncursesw.so.6 => /lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00007f9c5f7c2000)   
     libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9c5f7bd000)   
     libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9c5f637000)   
     /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9c5f87f000)   
      
   On my prior build (glibc-2.32) there was no /lib64 directory but barring that   
   it seems to be working.  I think file might be more entertaining;   
      
     # file /bin/bash   
     /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically   
   linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped   
      
   Looks good.   
      
    BP> or in slackware now ldd /bin/awk   
      
     # ldd /usr/bin/awk | tr -d '\t'   
     linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd4bd1d000)   
     libreadline.so.8 => /lib/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007fc922688000)   
     libmpfr.so.6 => /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.6 (0x00007fc92261c000)

   On this system /usr/bin/awk is a symlink to /usr/bin/gawk.  Other than   
   slackware putting it in /bin I think it is the same.  Just a sec ...   
      
   From the slackware64-current gawk-5.1.0-x86_64-3.txz package I get the below;   
      
     $ ldd bin/gawk-5.1.0 | tr -d '\t'   
     linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffee98ce000)   
     libsigsegv.so.2 => not found   
     libreadline.so.8 => /lib/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007fc98623a000)   
     libmpfr.so.6 => /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.6 (0x00007fc9861ce000)

   I seem to be missing libsigsegv which should be no problem to add into the   
   mix.  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.13.tar.gz looks to be   
   the latest and greatest.  Other than that I don't see any issues.   
      
    BP> you never used gentoo then   
      
   Nope.  I briefly used an aarch64 version of gentoo to build an a   
   rch64-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain about a year or two ago.  That saved me from   
   having to do a crosscompile just to create a half-decent pure 64-bit native   
   development platform for raspberrypi.  I might pick that up again in the near   
   future.   
      
    BP> why not keep it debian then ?   
      
   BAH!!!  Never.  Slackware is a zillion times better.   
      
    BP> slackware only uses taballs, not db files   
      
   As it should be.   
      
   Life is good,
