A dirty hack could handle your broken configuration: the Slackware
version can be be extracted from 
/var/adm/packages/aaa_base-*.*-noarch-*

Anyway, such a modification would probably be a bad idea in the general
case. Such a test could trigger if, for example, somebody installed
Slackware packages on another distro, or if the Slackware was
incompletely upgraded, or any other dirty hack^W^W "hand tuning".

Basically, this system has been modified and local tests cannot
handle such things.
I am not sure that a man could do much better than a stupid pile of
silicon without spending an unreasonable amount of time and energy.

Corollaries: 
- local tests do not check the SuSE packages that I installed on my
Gentoo boxes with rpm --nodeps 
- Debian systems which often have *some* packages upgraded to
TESTING or UNSTABLE cannot be reliably tested either.
