Recently, when I went through the process of updating Slackware 14.2, I started out by using the Utah mirror. I quickly discovered that doing so was a mistake, because the Utah mirror, as of this posting, is not updated and/or properly maintained (I kept getting a lot of checksum error messages from it). On the other hand, however, the Indiana mirror, which I tried next, seems to be much better at that (no checksum error messages as of yet).

Knowing Utah's mirror has historically always been a good one, I switched slackpkg from my local mirror (which is rsynced from xmission's) to Utah's mirror, ran the following and selected mozilla-thunderbird and it did everything and upgraded Thunderbird without issue.

Let me also clarify something at this point. I am NOT making any complaints about the mirrors, nor an I asking any questions about any of them, I was simply making an observation based on my experience.
