a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-2.tgz: Fixed a regex bug in a grep in installpkg that
could cause packages that do not conform to the FHS (those containing single-

Made the top-line with -infobox more terse since some of the package names
have become too long to fit, and were disturbing the infobox’s formatting.
