Can wget1 and wget2 coexist without collisions? Maybe we need to manually uninstall the first version? What's the point of having installed both versions?
Yes, they can co-exist. Since some of the options are different, we're keeping wget1 (for as long as it's maintained, probably) to avoid breaking any existing scripts.

n/NetworkManager-1.32.10-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Switch to dhcp=internal to avoid problems swimming upstream.
For those looking for a fix to continue using dhcpcd, a PRIVSEP build
variable was added to the SlackBuild, and you may produce a fully
NetworkManager compatible dhcpcd package with this command:
PRIVSEP=no ./dhcpcd.SlackBuild
Privilege separation remains the dhcpcd package default as we don't want
to weaken security for those using rc.inet1 along with dhcpcd.
Some additional comments about this were added to 00-dhcp-client.conf
mentioning this and the workaround of killing dhcpcd manually when
resuming with the stock dhcpcd package.

Just a heads up for anyone who might be running named with custom options in /etc/default/named, dont forget to combine them with the new "-u $BIND_USER" option. If you have logging diverted elsewhere (i.e. NAMED_OPTIONS="-u $BIND_USER -L /var/log/bind"), dont forget to change ownership of the log file to named:named (or whatever your named user is).
Can wget1 and wget2 coexist without collisions? Maybe we need to manually uninstall the first version? What's the point of having installed both versions?
Wget2 is meant to be an almost drop-in replacement for Wget. I say almost, because we did make a few conscious decisions to break backwards compatibility. This means if your scripts parse Wget's output, they will break. But apart from that and the currently missing features, it is a full drop in replacement with a lot more functionality.
Wget2 also provides machine readable output for scripts so they don't need to parse STDOUT

Patched to fix USB storage devices detected only once per session.
Thanks to ctrlaltca.
n/NetworkManager-1.32.10-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to shut down dhcpcd gracefully, and restored dhcpcd as the default
client when using NetworkManager on Slackware. In this case I'll swim
upstream if it means better security. Who knows what your DHCP server might
attempt when it comes to public WiFi? :-)
Thanks to Roy Marples and marav.

FWIW, The above "upgrade" killed both the keyboard and mouse (trackpad) in X in KDE and Xfce. Once replaced with an older version, everything went back to "normal."
