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

[Jude DaShiell]

I'm talking about the order of messages that speak on the screen as 
slapt-get is run.  I did not save a script session of slapt-get operation 
this time but will do so on slackware's next update.  My normal order of 
operations is first to run slapt-get -u and then to run slapt-get 
--upgrade.  It's the upgrade step that has me troubled.  If verification 
is done prior to any removals, then for whatever reason those messages are 
out of order. On Mon, 22 Nov 2010, Jason Woodward wrote:
