Hello All , Here's another pet peive . When you live down a metered link & have to RE-DOWNLOAD because of an upgrade to slackpkg .
I there a way to force slackpkg to upgrade it's pkg First ?
Thus NOT having to re-download almost a gig of other packages again ?

# official Slackware package repository. With it, you can also
# search in the Slackware Package database and find which package
# has the selected file.
