The somewhat esoteric slotting here is apparently breaking kuroneko, dropping the slots so kuroneko's cache will hopefully continue updating.

The stablereq in 920667 is for 2.42.4 while >=2.42.2 is already stable for bugs 915222 and 918667, so we're fixed here once this is GLSA'd. I've just amended the last GLSA to add this.
