If you are tracking current or are dist-upgrading to a new release, you will encounter packages that you have installed that are no longer required or part of the basic Slackware install. If you only have the official Slackware package sources in your slapt-getrc file, then you can do the following: # slapt-get –remove –remove-obsolete NOTE: You will want to exclude any packages that are self made so they are not removed.
