I have same problem on Slackware 15 (64-bit) servers that never were on 
15.1-current, with both sbopkg and sbotools... some packages depending 
on python3 build & wheel for some reason can't find them when building, 
and they weren't loaded into the queue, though when I search for them in 
sbopkg, they are there, so I had to load them manually... I guess this 
is normal for sbopkg (unless you load a queue) but shouldn't be 
happening with sbotools?  I run 'sbocheck' and then try to build 
things.  Maybe sbotools is too old?
