+5. I updated the package and my microcode has been reverted to

+ As noted by Ed on Slackbuilds-users mailing list:
+ https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/2020-April/024262.html
+
+ Intel has removed microcode updates for some older CPUs.
+ The updates are no longer present in the tarball officially
+ released by Intel.
+
+ If you find yourself in this situation, you can either stick
+ to the older version of the package that works for you or you can
+ let me know and I might include that particular microcode in
+ the package. In the latter case, you'll need to provide me with
+ the details on the exact microcode file in question, specifically
+ by providing the exact file name, for example `06-0b-04`.
