I noticed that there were some updates on some SBo packages I had already
installed on my new Slackware 13.37 installation. Given some possible
options that come to my mind, what would you consider as the best practice?

Well, if you upgrade a library, you might need to rebuild the

some significant enhancements I would like to include before your review.
Unlike other submissions I had made before, I did not receive the mail with

Working with a 64-bit system is new to me so I'm hitting issues that I

Slackware however does not have that symlink which is part of the LSB 3.0
specification.
That tidbit caught me the other day too and was especially perplexing in the
Slack32 VM until I put the beer down. I think it would be a good idea to
put
ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
into the doinst.sh with maybe a quick check to see if the 32-bit libs are
installed. After all

I seem to recall sawfish was a problem for some previous versions of

didn't bother writing the requisite SlackBuilds. If anybody is
interested, email me and I'll draw them up and submit them.
