As far as I know slackpkg should not automatically do any sort of automatic package dependencies (unless you use a modified version that also rewuires using a repo with managed deps) or other automatic actions that are not specifically passed via command line (like upgrade or reinstall). Are yo sure you did not accidentally reinstall a package series and accidentally checked mutt for reinstall ? Is your system exposed to internet for long periods ? If I were you I'd check the package content to match perfectly (ie some hash check not just size) with what should be distributed with the package having an unjustified package version on your system could mean your system has been hacked. If your system has been hacked you might have other compromised bins so you should do your checks from a known good rescue system (ie your hash binary might have been hacked to report good hashes for the other bins that have been compromised).
