I read the documentation at
http://www.swaret.org/?menu=htus for how to use swaret, and I edited my swaret.conf.new to be swaret.conf, though I didn't feel any need to really change *many* options in it becuase they all looked good as they were..
What the problem is, is I do swaret --update and then swaret --upgrade and it says all of my packages are up to date, though I know there are new ones out, since this is a completely fresh install of slack9.1. Here's the uncommented sections of my swaret.conf file.
Code:

and here is my swaret log, though it doesn't really say a lot.
