The pupsave-creation bug has decided it was not done with me. (hehe)
@Mick: Which blkid version did you use ?
Edit, 14h10, my time:
For the time being, as a work-around, here are a couple of antidotes. Use
one OR the other. BFN.

You had said that it was solved because of blkid.
I was able to reproduce your bug slightly by playing with the code :
We need you to run it in urxvt terminal an post the content of /tmp/schoices.txt in [ code ] tags .
Many thanks !
No offense intended, but I spent enough time on this bug already.
Maybe you have too: it's up to you to decide that, of course.
You may recall that I reported this bug a few years ago. I suggested
then a workaround that worked -- perhaps by chance, but nevertheless
it worked.
This bug has been reported occasionally, as far back as mid-2008
(Puppy 4.0), AFAIK.

This time, with the input of developer Mick and others testers, I was
able to present a summary of 4 workarounds that will enable use of a
pupsave in slacko, pretty much no matter what hardware combination
the user has.
As I understand it with the info provided, this is a rare bug that occurs
occasionally on some older hardware combinations, whatever the Puppy.
And there are workarounds. So the problem has been greatly reduced,
IMO, almost to the point of being simply an annoyance.
From a project management point of view, it would make sense that
talent be better applied to a more common problem.
Again, no offense intended. But there are times when one has to accept
that being obstinate simply yields no results. That's where I'm at.
Respectfully,

PS. Don't worry, I won't spread the workarounds further!
