[Slapt-get-user] slapt-get order of operations

When downloading any package unless package verification is disabled, 
package verification needs to have succeeded before removal of any old 
software.  With package verification enabled, on the current version of 
slapt-get I notice slapt-get removes old software and empty directories 
before doing package verification of the newly downloaded package. 
Sooner or later someone with a flakey connection or malware thrown into a 
package will have a problem with this if it's not changed.
