 +<note>Pay attention to changed configuration files. Update them either by merging the customizations from the older configuration files (Slackpkg can optionally step through every changed configuration file and allow you to resolve the changes) or manually editing the new files after allowing Slackpkg to overwrite the old configuration files. You can decide which way works best for you.</note>
