[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools config issues

Mon Mar 11 01:30:15 UTC 2024

Hi,

SBo packages that have been added to -current are removed from Ponce's repo
to avoid file conflicts, which is why sbotools didn't find python3-wheel
and python3-build.

When the "unable to locate" message comes up (and it often does for Python
stuff), I just select "y" to ignore and continue. That should work provided
that the corresponding Slackware packages have been installed.
