        sbopkg runs fine. It just ignores everything in /tmp/SBo and
/tmp/*SBO.tgz.

        $ cat /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf | grep -i output
        export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}

which pkgs were installed and when there were updates. I also have
several queue files to install pkgs in order to get dependencies.
