[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools: multiline build options

[fourtysixandtwo]

I just wanted to see the output of pip3 check, those are normal unless
you run it as "PYTHONPATH=/opt/python3.9/site-packages pip3 check" so
it can see the "-opt" packages which are primarily needed only at
build time.

Does sbocheck list any other builds that need updating?

Can you share the output of "pip3 list" and "ls -l
/opt/python3.9/site-packages/"?
