Thank you very much. I followed your suggestion with the dry-run
parameter. I was very please to see that I could easily identify my
packages because I use a standard suffix -1pe for all my packages and I
could easily grep them. Turns out a lot of my packages were added, not
updates to stock packages. Others were brought to the same or higher
version by Slackware.

I will probably get to it over the weekend, but it looks like it will not
be a big deal.

Thanks again.
