[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools config issues

Mon Mar 11 03:00:51 UTC 2024

The whole error message: (Had to use --reinstall because in the meantime 
I got in installed, somehow.)

# sboinstall --reinstall python3-build
python3-build (python3-build-1.1.1-x86_64-1_SBo) is already installed. 
Do you want to reinstall from SBo? [n] y
Unable to locate python3-build in the SlackBuilds.org tree.
Do you want to ignore it and continue? [n]

So I'm guessing I installed python3-build from the 15.0 SBo repo, and 
it's not finding it now because I switched to Ponce's repo. (Curiously, 
also didn't find it either in Ponce's repo or in slackware64-current)

One problem with that explanation: I was getting the error even when I 
still had the 15.0 SBo repo dialed in.

Am making good headway with sbopkg so will set this aside for now. Will 
be more methodical going forward so should have more details to report 
if it comes up again.

BTW I hadn't considered that packages can migrate from Ponce's SBo repo 
to -current. Will keep this in mind.

thanks for the help!
