Slackpkg - Fix Checksum md5 Errors
by enorbet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BV3A)

I'm extremely new at slackpkg but so far it is pretty OK and not the travesty I once assumed it could be. However I'm getting several checksum md5 matching errors which I assume is referring to previous packages. I further assume that "slackpkg clean-system" might be the answer BUT I don't want to even risk losing packages I've installed, especially after failing to uncheck the kernel packages resulted in slackpkg deleting my custom (and substantially newer) kernel and it's /lib/modules. Thankfully I had a backup and I won't make that mistake again but that's why I'm, asking here instead of just "jumping in".
So my question is, how do I resolve the un-upgraded items that checksum'd out without losing what 3rd party stuff I have installed?
