Re[4]: [Slapt-get-user] Dependancy Checking wrapper script not working.

Ahh I see. My fault.  Well since you have support for the "--update" flag
and also for individual package names, do you think you can whip up support
for "--upgrade" as well?  It seems to me that it would be the natural
progression if the --update flag is supported.  Thanks Jason.
