Jeremy,

Thanks for pointing me to the problem and its solution.

When I went to rebuild geoclue2 I checked the current SBo version with what
I have here; they're the same. So I used the existing build script.

Reading your message I downloaded the build script from the SBo repo and
diff'd it against the one here:

$ diff geoclue2.SlackBuild geoclue2/geoclue2.SlackBuild 
4c4
< # Copyright 2017 Aaditya Bagga <aaditya_gnulinux at zoho.com>

< # to avoid avahi as a dependency add --disable-nmea-source
< # to the configure options
---
> avahi_opts='--disable-nmea-source'
> [ "${AVAHI:-no}" != "no" ] && avahi_opts=''
85a86
>   $avahi_opts \

The one that's been here since 2017 was modified in 2018 to include the
missing lines. I assumed that if the source tarballs were the same version
the build scripts would also be the same. That's been the case with other
packages but now we know, not with geoclue2.

Thanks very much!

Best regards,

Rich
