I tried to install slimjet via Package Installer but, because a weak wifi connection, the downloading hasn’t been completed succesfully. There’s a slimjet_i386.deb file in my home folder, but its hash seems to be wrong.
Then I tried via Synaptic, but slimjet appeared there as already installed, and there was not a “mark for reinstallation” option. I removed it, but when I tried to install it again:
Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences. slimjet: Package slimjet has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.listI also tried via the terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install slimjet Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package slimjet is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'slimjet' has no installation candidate- This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by andfree.

::I installed slimjet with the package-installer.fonts-liberation gets installed afterwards as depency.
So I asked for.
Try
sudo dpkg --configure -aIf fonts-liberation isnt installed, maybe installing it helps.
You ca also try to remove it again
sudo apt-get remove --purge slimjet- This reply was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by caprea.

::Try to install it with the package-installer.
It seemed to have been installed without errors, but I find it nowhere.

::Maybe theres no menuentry.
In antix-control-center under preferred application, can you choose it there?
Or under /usr/share/applications is there slimjet.desktop ?

::I left a lot of browsers on the List on my IBM T23 install. Because of sse2 cpu requirements. Look for any browser install probably in /opt.
1st command requires sudo.updatedbThis does not require sudo
locate slimjetOne thing I noticed while I was experimenting. When deleting package installer browsers files in /opt. This would break apt. I would have to go back to package installer. Re-install what I deleted in /opt. Then re-open package installer. Run the un-install button instead.
Deleting files manually screwed the pooch for awhile till I figured out the problem.

::Well, today I woke up, opened this discussion, ran command
flashpeak-slimjet(yesterday I tried the wrong command “slimjet”) and slimjet browser is running. After that, I looked in menu and slimjet is there. I don’t know if reboot was necessary and I also don’t remember if yesterday I tried to reboot. I only remember I tried “Update Menu”.I suppose the command I used to install slimjet via terminal was wrong, too. But:
$ sudo apt-get install flashpeak-slimjet Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package flashpeak-slimjetAnyway, slimjet is installed. But I don’t know if I should mark this topic as solved, because I couldn’t do it via Synaptic or terminal.

Good luck helped this time and the downloading was not corrupted again because of the weak wifi connection. For this reason I prefer synaptic; whatever is downloaded is never lost.
It looks quite fast, but I can’t say yet if it’s faster than Pale Moon.
My omission that I haven’t thanked you for your help.
