Hello :-)

When using the sbopkg menus --> Updates the following is displayed:

par2cmdline:
INSTALLED PACKAGE IS NEWER THAN REPO
Installed version: par2cmdline-0.4_tbb_20100203-x86_64-1_SBo
Repo version: par2cmdline-0.4-x86_64-1_SBo


par2cmdline-0.4_tbb is the parallel execution version of par2cmdline-0.4
(very nice, too).  It is installed; par2cmdline-0.4 is not installed. 
They are different packages so should not (?) be listed together like that.

Versions: Slackware64 13.37, sbopkg 0.35.0.

Best

Charles

That's an out-of-spec package - IOW, the bug is in the SlackBuild and
should be reported to the maintainer or the SBo admins. The SlackBuild
necessarily defines DIRNAME (as par2cmdline) but then uses that in the
makepkg command for no reason I can see and defines VERSION as
0.4_tbb_20100203 for no reason I can see. So the finished package
incorrectly claims its PRGNAM is 'par2cmdline' and sbopkg has no way of
distinguishing it from the "real" one. It should be '/sbin/makepkg -l y
-c n $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM/blah' and should likely define version as '0.4' or
'0.4_20100203'.

Thanks for the very prompt and clear reply.  It makes sense.  Will
report to the package maintainer (and hope they think it makes sense too!).
