I don't know. I removed it and then installed it via slackpkg.

Maybe try to get it from here and use upgradepkg to install it: https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackw...lackware64/ap/

Sorry, actually the problem is slackpkg not nano. I don't be able to install nothing. I always get that fatal error.
Is there a way to repair slackpkg?

I don't know what is going on. If it was me I'd go to the link in my previous post and get the slackpkg package. Run "removepkg slackpkg" and then "installpkg slackpkg." Then fix the mirror in /etc/slackpkg" and try again. Have you modified the files in "/etc/slackpkg?"

Absolutely not. I only changed the mirror. I also use slackpkg plus

Ok, the problem was slackpkg+. I removed it and I can install the packages without fatal error now.
Anyway, i don't understand the reason when i run
"slackpkg search nano", it says that the package is uninstalled but i am using it.

is there a entry in /var/log/packages/ with nano?

Yeah, you are right because it's empty.
I'm making some tests about my program and I accidentantly removed it. Maybe the slackpkgplus error was due to that....
How can i fix it? I tried to re-create the /var/log/packages but it doesn't write into it

I'd say wget the package from your mirror, and then use removepkg followed by installpkg. That should get rid of the empty log and put in a good one.

Mark as solved
Thanks

Yes. It has re-created properly the /var/log/packages after the installation of the package and all works well now.
