Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/httpd-2.2.19-i486-1_slack13.37.txz: Upgraded. Revert ABI breakage in 2.2.18 caused by the function signature change of ap_unescape_url_keep2f(). This release restores the signature from 2.2.17 and prior, and introduces ap_unescape_url_keep2f_ex(). Apache httpd-2.2.18 is considered abandoned. All users must upgrade. +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for additional mirror sites near you.
