You are correct.

  bash-5.1$ ls -l /usr/bin/pdfstudioviewer 
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 85 Mar  5 00:25 /usr/bin/pdfstudioviewer -> /tmp/SBo/package-pdfstudioviewer-2024.0.1/opt/pdfstudioviewer2024/pdfstudioviewer2024

Thank you for the correction.

Sorry for the noise, and for my incorrect suggestion of a mistake in
the SlackBuild script.

Regards,
Douglas.
