I'd say your not well informed if you think swaret is more reliable than rpm. swaret is haphazardly written with design decisions that leave you wondering if they author thought about simplicity and consistancy at all.
You may not like the added complexity that rpm employs, but it is designed and implemented better than swaret. RPM is a package format first. Swaret is a shell wrapper to slackware's native package tools.
Swaret is not even in the same league as RPM, let alone apt-get, yum, and the others.
