Slackpkg vs. Swaret.
I normally use swaret, and all works rather well. I've heard good things about slackpkg, so I installed.
After updating slackpkg, I do a search for apache (just to test). It correctly lists the apache 1.3.x package, but it also lists all this extra crap?
Swaret:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@slackbox:~$ swaret --search apache
swaret 1.6.2-1
Listing available Packages matching Keyword: apache...
apache-1.3.33-i486-1 (1685 kB) [Status: NOT INSTALLED]
Slackpkg
------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@slackbox:~# slackpkg search apache
The list below shows all packages with the selected pattern.
[ installed ] - vim-6.3.007-i486-1
[ installed ] - zsh-4.2.1-i486-1
[ installed ] - gnome-icon-theme-1.2.3-noarch-1
[ installed ] - gnome-themes-extras-0.7-i486-1
[ installed ] - kdewebdev-3.3.1-i486-1
[uninstalled] - apache-1.3.33-i486-1
[ upgrade ] - mod_ssl-2.8.19_1.3.31-i486-1 --> mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33-i486-1
[uninstalled] - php-4.3.9-i486-1
[uninstalled] - xvim-6.3.007-i486-1
[uninstalled] - emacspeak-20.0-i486-1
These extra packages obviously aren't dependencies, so what's the deal?
