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'.
