Description:
The slock package has a bug wherein hitting the backspace key does not produce the expected result when trying to log back in. This is fixed upstream, but there hasn't been a release in 4 years. I'd like to propose adding this very small patch to the package.

The diff also switches from MD5 to SHA256.
