The upgrading of Context or even of pdftex is sufficiently failure prone that I have given up trying. Instead I used the latest packages from Slackware current and installed those. When TeX live is updated again next winter I will upgrade to that level. The instructions never seem to deal with the exact configuration one is dealing with. Frankly I would rather spend my time typesetting and laying out books. So I accept the newest complete package that seems to work and reinstall. In theory I could upgrade, in fact I am better off waiting for the next complete distro from either TeXlive or Slack.
