Hi

I want to install darktable from Ponce's repository at https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...darktable.info but I am getting issues with packages not being available when trying to process
the queue file generated with sqf. A couple of the packages are in the slackpkg reposiory and the rest are in Ponce's github. I am running Slackware current and have the sbopkg.conf file set up with the two variables needed (
### REPO_BRANCH=${REPO_BRANCH:-14.2}
### REPO_NAME=${REPO_NAME:-SBo}
REPO_BRANCH=${REPO_BRANCH:-current}
REPO_NAME=${REPO_NAME:-SBo-git}
)

Any hints to fix or point out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Here is what I did.

sqf -p darktable

Doing a cat of the queue gives this:
---------------------------------------------------------
cat /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/darktable.sqf
pugixml
lensfun
json-glib
darktable

---------------------------------------------------------




But when I try to process the queue file I get this:
---------------------------------------------------------
sbopkg -k -i darktable
Both a queuefile and a package were found with the name "darktable".

Use (Q)ueuefile, (P)ackage, or (A)bort?: q

The following packages cannot be found
in the currently active repository
(SBo-git/current) and have been skipped:

lensfun
json-glib

(Y)es to continue processing or (N)o to stop?:
---------------------------------------------------------

However the two packages lensfun and json-glib are already installed but not by sbopkg but by slackpkg

---------------------------------------------------------

slackpkg file-search lensfun

Looking for lensfun in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows the packages that contains "lensfun" file.

[ installed ] - lensfun-0.3.95-x86_64-3

You can search specific packages using "slackpkg search package".

slackpkg file-search json-glib

Looking for json-glib in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows the packages that contains "json-glib" file.

[ installed ] - vala-0.52.0-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - json-glib-1.6.2-x86_64-2

You can search specific packages using "slackpkg search package".

I'm not a user of -current, but I think I can answer your question:

Some of the dependencies included by sqf (lensfun and json-glib) are now a part of Slackware. Thus, you need to manually remove them from the sqf file. Honestly I can't remember if Ponce's repository is supposed to remove deps from REQUIRES when they are added to Slackware-current or not.

it's explained in the wiki's homepage

https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds/wiki

As stated in the wiki that ponce linked to, he doesn't remove dependencies that have been added to -current from the REQUIRES line. The reason, as has been stated in his thread a few times, is that it would require a much larger effort to update the unofficial repo each week as SBo's public updates are pushed.

Hi drumz

Ok, removing the packages from the queue file worked. I'll reread Ponce's wiki in a bit.

@bassmadrigal OK, Thanks - makes sense now.

Thanks!
