Actually there are two SlackBuilds:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/elinks/
builds the original elinks

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/felinks/
builds the new elinks aka felinks, repository now renamed elinks.

So I'd suggest to just upgrade the latter to version 0.16.1.1

I understand that the development of elinks now occurs in
https://github.com/rkd77/elinks

Should the SlackBuild for elinks be removed and maybe the SlackBuild for felinks
renamed elinks is up to their respective maintainers.

Cheers
Didier
