   I agree with Greg, Pacman is superior to Slackwares Pkgtools and does 
not depend on a quirk only available in tar <= 1.13..

   I have created numerous interchangeable PM modules (DPKG, Pacman, 
Pkgtools and Pkgutils) for my personal education/use, for Greg's DIY 
code and use the progenitor of Pacman, Per Liden's Pkgtools.

   I would not recommend the Slackware PM due to the 'tar' limitation 
and its lack of sophistication and DPKG is for masochists ( 3.  A 
willingness or tendency to subject oneself to unpleasant or trying 
experiences.)
