Slackware doesn't have a package management / upgrade system?

Um ... unless you're particularly attached to it ... why not ditch Slack 
and use Debian?  If you use one of the Debian testing ("Sarge") install 
CD's, a full desktop system will be up and running pretty quickly, you 
can just move all the data you care about into your home directory 
(assuming it's on a separate partition) and blow away the root (you 
might want to save the contents of /etc).

I know that sounds (b)rash, but chasing dependencies not something you 
should have to do very much of.
