[Slapt-get-user] problem with the new X_slackXX.X build numbers?

[rneri at libero.it]

Hi,
I've been using slapt-get for a few days, and I think is the best package management tool I've tried so far.
However, I would like to report that slapt-get doesn't seem to be able to handle the "X_slackXX.X" build numbers that PV has been using for the latest apache and mod_ssl patches. In fact, I have downloaded the patches myself, renamed them to a plain "*-X.tgz", built my CHECKSUMS.md5 and PACKAGES.TXT, and now slapt-get does recognize them as available upgrades. BTW, I am using the default slapt-get EXCLUDE list.
Kind regards.
