The only change in this .SRCINFO hunk is a routine version bump from 4.52.178 to 4.52.182. No sources, checksums, build steps, install scripts, permissions, or package metadata beyond pkgver were altered, so there is no new security-relevant behavior introduced by this diff alone.

Comment

The change is a routine version bump in .SRCINFO for the Slack desktop binary package: it updates the upstream HTTPS download URL, matching noextract filename, and the corresponding checksum. There are no new sources, no build-script changes, no install script changes, and no signs of added execution, persistence, or privilege escalation in this diff. Risk is low because the package still relies on an upstream binary release, but this specific metadata update does not introduce additional security concerns beyond the existing trust in Slack's release artifact.

Comment

The only change is a pkgver/b2sum bump for the Slack desktop .deb source. The source remains an HTTPS download from Slack's official release host, and there are no new build steps, scripts, or packaging behaviors introduced by this diff. No evidence of malicious code, persistence, privilege escalation, or integrity bypass in the reviewed hunk.

Comment

The change only updates the B2 checksum for the upstream Slack .deb source. The source URL remains the official HTTPS Slack download endpoint, there are no new build-time downloads, scripts, or packaging behavior changes, and the patch file checksum is unchanged. This is a routine integrity update with no apparent security impact in the diff itself.
