slapt-get rebuilt to fix the upgrade process

This will avoid that after an upgrade the system becomes unusable, as has been observed for glibc-solibs, cf. viewtopic.php?f=44&t=7336
In one of the ChangeLogs:slapt -i|--install normally installs a package, but in case an upgrade is available it upgrades it instead.
This comes handy in some situations:

slapt-get-0.10.2t-i586-5slint.txz: Rebuilt.
Use upgradepkg instead of spkg as back end of 'slapt-get --upgrade' to
avoid that upgrading the package glibc-solibs fails.
Install it with these commands:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -s -i slapt-get # to check the version of the new package
slapt-get -i slapt-get
+-------------------------+
This comes handy in some situations:
- If you want that some package be upgraded before any other (as above).
- It allows to upgrade a package blacklisted in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc, as a kernel package.
