When doing the --upgrade option swaret tells me the
name of the old package and the name of the new package
and ask for one of four commands (y/n/A/Q)
It would be nice if there was a fifth option to display
the info about the package and then ask the question
again. This way the user could check to see what the
package is about before saying yes install it.

    In some way it is against the Slackware philosophy ofcourse.
    Why upgrade a package you don't know what it does ??

    Then again, it does seem quite usefull =)
