Hi Anders,

This doesn't seem to be reliable, especially for entries that have 
multiple packages for a single date.  Rewinding a single line does 
not cover cases like the following:

What is the caller expected to do with the data?

I will include slapt_get_pkg_filelist().  slapt_get_pkg_changetime() 
in its current state is broken and its not clear the best way to fix it.


take care,
