That's a slackpkg thing that can catch folks unaware. It might be a good idea to blacklist slackpkg and update it manually. Whenever slackpkg is updated the update process will stop and you need to check your slackpkg config and restart the update process.

In my own case when slackpkg was updated it depended on glibc 2.33 which hadn't been downloaded or installed and slackpkg would not run so I had to grab 3 glibc packages from the mirror and upgrade those packages with upgradepkg. Once I did that and checked my slackpkg.conf the upgrade proceeded as expected.
