When I manually check the signatures of the files ( with "gpg --verify", 
as root) gpg says it can't check the signature because the public key 
does not exist.  I don't recall configuring gnupg before when I first 
used sbopkg on my laptop, but maybe I simply forgot I did something.  I 
do notice that /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg exists on my desktop PC, but it 
has zero bytes.  On my laptop, I do have the Slackbuilds.org public key 
installed.  Does sbopkg get this key when it syncs with a remote repository?

I did copy /var/lib/sbopkg and /var/cache/sbopkg from my laptop to my 
desktop.  That's because I plan to keep the laptop up-to-date with 
sbopkg, when I'm connected to a wi-fi network, and copy changes to my 
desktop.  I have dial-up internet access at home, so it might take a 
while to update things there, plus I don't have the modem configured yet 
(awaiting a serial port), so it's not even possible yet.

It'll be a while until I can verify if the problem exists with sbopkg 
0.36.0.  I expect it will, if I don't get gpg configured properly.
