No packages match the pattern or install. Try

Answer 1

Stock Slackware packages tree doesn't contain aide binary package. slackbuilds.org has slackbuild script for it here: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/aide/ So read the README and README.Slackware files and build and install package as usual (manual or using sbopkg from sbopkg.org).

With sbopkg:

# sbopkg -r -i aide

Manual:

# mkdir /tmp/bld; cd /tmp/bld
# wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/system/aide.tar.gz
# tar xf aide.tar.gz
# cd aide
##read README and README.Slackware
# . *info
# wget $DOWNLOAD
# bash *Build
# upgradepkg --install-new /tmp/aide-$VERSION-*t?z
