What you've done there is create a branch/category/package/files
hierarchy rather than a category/package/files hierarchy. And you don't
have to reproduce the exact academic..system hierarchy - it just needs
to have that level. So if you move everything under
/var/lib/sbopkg/local/14.0 to /var/lib/sbopkg/local/ and remove 14.0 it
should work.
