Hi, I am Didier Spaier, Slint maintainer. At time of writing we ship this pacakage coming from Slackware64-14.2: http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-14.2/patches/packages/subversion-1.9.7-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz The package you mentioned is for Slackware64-current intended to prepare the release of Slackware-15.0. So: 1. If there is no real need to upgrade, keep the package shipped in Slint. 1. If you have a real need to upgrade (which one?), better use the source files and build a Slackware package. Generally speaking you can do it this way: lftp -c "mirror http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-current/source/d/subversion/"; CWD=$(pwd) cd subversion su # you need to be root to build the package But in this case the build fails with this error: configure: error: cannot find kf5-config Probably this version needs something not shipped in Slackware64-14.2, I didn't investigate further.
