a/aaa_elflibs-15.0-x86_64-30.txz:  Removed.
  Renamed to aaa_libraries.
a/aaa_glibc-solibs-2.32-x86_64-2.txz:  Added.
  This package has been renamed from glibc-solibs, which helps avoid trouble
  if someone upgrades using "upgradepkg --install-new */*.txz" by upgrading
  this package before aaa_libraries. Otherwise, if aaa_libraries is upgraded
  first any libraries in it that are linked against a newer version of glibc
  than the one installed on the system would refuse to load.
a/aaa_libraries-15.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.
  This package has been renamed from aaa_elflibs to insure that it will come
  after aaa_glibc-solibs when upgraded in alphabetical order.

ap/slackpkg-15.0-noarch-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  These are some of the important changes (see the ChangeLog for more):
  Note that this slackpkg release contains a backwards-incompatible change to
  the blacklisting syntax (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior
  behavior of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
  blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al to be
  ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the glibc package is
  ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages whose names begin with glibc,
  you would need to add "glibc.*" to the blacklist now. Also note that any
  special characters, e.g. "+", will need to be escaped in the blacklist file.
  To blacklist entire package sets, a trailing slash is now required: e.g. kde/
  Another backwards-incompatibility warning: check-updates will now return 1 if
  there are updates available - this will make it easier to use this feature
  with cron (thanks to Peter Hyman).
  Added support for Slackware-AArch64 (thanks to Stuart Winter).
  Added aaa_glibc-solibs and aaa_libraries to the "do these first" routine.
  Thanks to Robby Workman for the new slackpkg release!
