bind not upgrading via slackpkg at the slackware64-15.0 mirrors
by glennmcc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CD31)
Did anyone else have trouble with updating bind yesterday on slackware64-15.0 ?
Everything upgraded fine on all 3 of my slackware64-current machines.
But, on my one install of slackware64-15.0,
slackpkg updated the kernel just fine but would not get bind.

So, since slackpkg would not do it... had to go to the repository, download the package
and manually do it via... upgradepkg bind-9.16.42-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz

For the heck of it I changed to the 32bit mirror and now bind is found.
