  By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status
  messages. Using this technique it was for example possible to fake the
  verification status of a signed mail.

  This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here
  first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there
  are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the
  slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's
  another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update
  is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
  /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
  considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
  space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
  (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
  and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
  know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
  The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs
  that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log,
  but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be
  considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or
  symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them
  as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the
  old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old
  locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this
  moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new
  installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer
  and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg
  is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float
  that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid
  more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users.
  Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even
  so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still
  work through the compatibility symlinks.

+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B installpkg
+installs single or multiple *.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz) binary packages designed
+for use with the Slackware Linux distribution onto your system.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--warn packagename
+Generate a list of files that would be overwritten to the standard output, but do
+not actually install the package.  The list is formatted in a suitable fashion to
+use as a list of files to backup.
+.TP
+.B \--md5sum packagename
+Record the package md5sum in the metadata written in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages.
+.TP
+.B \--root /otherroot
+Install using a location other than / (the default) as the root of the
+filesystem to install on.  In the example given, use /otherroot instead.  Setting
+the ROOT environment variable does the same thing.
+.TP
+.B \--infobox
+Use /bin/dialog to display an informational dialog as the package is installed.
+Primarily used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--menu
+Use /bin/dialog to display a menu asking the user if they would like to install the
+package(s) or not.  Generally used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--terse
+Install the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
+.TP
+.B \--terselength <length>
+Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns.
+.TP
+.B \--ask
+Used with -menu mode.  When selected, always ask if a package should be
+installed regardless of what the package's priority is.
+.TP
+.B \--priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP
+When installing with the \-menu option, package priority levels (found in the file
+"tagfile" in the package directory) are used to automatically install (ADD) or 
+skip (SKP) a package, or to suggest recommended (REC) or optional (OPT) to the user
+if a menu is displayed.  If a priority is set on the command line, it will override
+the values set in the tagfile for the entire package list.
+.TP
+.B \--tagfile /somedir/tagfile
+Specify a different file to use for package priorities (in this example, /somedir/tagfile
+will be used).  The default is "tagfile" in the package's directory.
+.TP
+.B \--threads <number>
+For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the maximum number of threads to be used for
+decompression. Only has an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
+only on large packages. The default for plzip is the number of CPU threads available.
+The default for xz is 2.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.B Install a font package for X:
+.P
+installpkg font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz
+.P
+Note that if a package is already installed, upgradepkg(8) should be used instead.
+.TP
+.B Create a backup of the files that would be overwritten if the package is installed:
+.P
+.nf
+tar czvf /tmp/backup.tar.gz \\
+  $(installpkg --warn font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz)
