Slackware Current Updates - up to the 19th October

Slackware current updates for the last two weeks, up to the 19th October. With this amount of updates and the last full release version of Slack more than two years away you could think Slackware has turned into a rolling distribution. Maybe it has. And it would be a very good one at this if it turned out that way. Rolling, but still stable and predictable, with regressions fixed asap by our ever watchful Pat. Alright, let's stop speculating and rambling.

n/gpgme-1.12.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
       Please note that kdepimlibs ships with an earlier (and incompatible) version
       of gpgme and both packages install headers into /usr/include/gpgme++/. In
       order to recompile any packages depending on kdepimlibs, that package will
       need to be reinstalled. Originally gpgme was developed by the KDE project
       but later ended up under the gnupg umbrella. I'm not finding any clean way
       to work around this conflict, but I believe it will go away once we switch
       over to Plasma 5.

d/git-2.19.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
       Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
       blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git clone
       --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has such a
       submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs
       (e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this
       vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.
