[Slackbuilds-users] Easy typo

[Yiannis]

There are few scripts that use PRGNAM+PGKNAM in SBo and from what I saw in
3 I am the creator. In my case this happens because SRCNAM has also taken a
value :D
example:
PRGNAM="abdownloadmanager-bin"
VERSION=${VERSION:-1.8.7}
SRCNAM=ABDownloadManager_"$VERSION"_linux_x64
PKGNAM=ABDownloadManager

After all, we have to put something in these cases too and
PRGNAM+SRCNAM+PKGNAM was convenient!

BUT What I really want to inform you is this:
recently I uploaded the slakfinder-app to SBo and I had this issue with the
.desktop
https://forge.slackware.nl/rizitis/slakfinder-app/src/branch/main/SBo.txt
And since it doesn't throw an error but a hint, I left it as is.
But I would like you to know this as information for sbopkglint and your
opinion in general is of course welcome.
