Or any other idea how to troubleshoot that part? I don't see anything in the system logs

This will show you what was recently changed:

Code:

ls -ltr /var/log/packages

I don't know much about slackpkg - the only way I can envisage that it has roll back would be if it copied every package that it updated and stored the package archive some place. For packages that were not installed via slackpkg (during the OS installation or from installpkg or upgradepkg directly) then there'd be no possibility.
The only way to roll back would be if you either had a previous copy of the updated package from 'patches/packages' or install the original package from the slackware/<series directory>

I've seen NFS delays like this many times but not recently - the only thing that comes to mind is that it could be due to rpc.portmap or something like that- you could try restarting it:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.rpc restart

Also see what this comes up with- you might see an error.

Code:

showmount -e <your server host name>

Also check the logs on the server to see if there's anything obvious.

You have not said when you last updated your machine, but I looked through the change log up to 'Wed Jan 28 19:23:00 UTC 2015' and at a cursory glance I don't see anything that would interfere with NFS.
