   Actually, Slackware 15.0 doesn't have the released 2.49 either, but some   
   snapshot, I think. Look at my version number:   
      
   % clisp --help | sed -n 2p   
   Usage:  /usr/lib64/clisp-2.49.93+/base/lisp.run [options] [lispfile [argument   
   ...]]   
      
   ... and then my old .cache directories ...   
      
     /home/smallm/.cache/common-lisp:   
     drwxr-xr-x  4 smallm smallm 4096 Jul  1 20:09 .   
     drwxr-xr-x 42 smallm smallm 4096 Jul  1 20:06 ..   
     drwxr-xr-x  3 smallm smallm 4096 Aug 15  2014 clisp-2.49-unix-x64   
     drwxr-xr-x  3 smallm smallm 4096 Feb 13  2024 clisp-2.49.93+-unix-x64   
      
   And if there is any doubt, here is the top of the file from   
   /var/log/packages...   
      
   PACKAGE NAME:     clisp-2.50_20191103_c26de7873-x86_64-5

   So I think you have to go back to the 14.2 Changelog to find the   
   officially released version:   
      
   Tue Apr 21 23:44:00 UTC 2015   
   ...   
   d/clisp-2.49-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.   
      
   with the first clisp entry in 15.0's changelog being a snapshot he   
   "Upgraded" to...   
      
   Thu Jan 12 01:15:52 UTC 2017   
   ...   
   d/clisp-2.49.20161111-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.   
      
   and the first giving it a 2.50 version number ...   
      
   Tue Dec 31 05:17:04 UTC 2019   
   ...   
   d/clisp-2.50_20191103_c26de7873-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
