It's a bug in installpkg, it doesn't handle spaces correctly. Avoid
spaces and other more special characters in paths and filenames when
you use Slackware package tools. If you like, you can have the packages
in "~/My Downloads" but you must first go to that directory with
command "cd ~/My\ Downloads" and then use installpkg or upgradepkg.
