[Slapt-get-user] Maybe a little bug

Hello everybody,

and first many thanks to Jason for slapt-get, it made my life with Slack definetely easier :-)

Now, this is what I observed just by chance and could not find a nice solution to it. There 
is a patched tcpip package for Slack 10.1. The name of the patched version is 
tcpip-0.17-i486-31b.tgz. It seems that slapt-get doesn't believe this is an upgrade, because 
the older package, tcpip-0.17-i486-31.tgz, was never touched after slapt-get --update; 
slapt-get --upgrade. On a system with slapt-get 0.9.10 I had to download the package 
manually and use upgradepkg, on another system I, where I have 0.9.10d, invoking slapt-get 
with --install --reinstall finally did the job. I think that the "b" at the end of the 
package name is not taken into consideration.

Best regards,

Serban Udrea
