[Lvlug] Yet another positive Slackware article

Yet another positive Slack article:
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6620

In the comments section someone brought up swaret. For the most part
swaret works great in upgrading to 'current'. I've also pointed it to
http://linuxpackages.net to pickup the latest and greatest apps. One thing
I noticed was that I didn't see any systems packages available for upgrade
since then. Sure enough after I upgraded to the latest version of swaret
(with a new swaret.conf file) and did swaret --upgrade there were a decent
amount of packages to be upgraded. It seems swaret gets confused when
multiple repositories are listed. Not a biggie just take out the
linuxpackages mirror listing when doing a system upgrade and then switch
it back. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a permanent setting I'm
missing?
