Next, cairo is part of current. Why are you installing things from slackware.pkgs.org? That is not an official source for Slackware. I would recommned you re-install the two cairo packages from current.
yes i had tried from current and dit-SBo but then im running into troubles with numpy and mlt

You have some problem with your system.
Have you got a full current install, fully updated?
Besides the two cairo packages you have installed form a non-slackware site, what else have you installed from non-slackware sites? Have you updated your install with current packages from a slackware mirror?

No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try:

These packages are not required for flowblade. Can you explain why you think you need them?
When was the last time you ran slackpkg install-new ? There were packages added that do not install with an upgrade-all. One was a python package.

l/python2-module-collection-2.7.18-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
Time to quarantine these python2 modules and pin the versions where they
are (or in the case of setuptools, downgrade to the last version that doesn't
complain). This will keep most of the standard python2 add-ons in one package
so that we can upgrade modules for python3 without having to worry about
python2 support getting dropped upstream.

Please answer the questions I asked in post #6, and make sure you have run slackpkg install-new. If packages install, then try again to build what is failing.
yes i haven`n run install-new for a while im just coming back to linux after i finished my college work, i had to use windows (word, onedrive) for past few months so since all the trouble.
i need video editing software im trying openshot now
so i belive there might be a mixture of packages from ponce and alien repo and maybe some manualy installed shall i run slackpkg system-clean uninstall all and then begin from scratch????
This is the place to start. Run slackpkg update, and then run install-new. Python 2.7 is old, it was removed, and python 3 was installed with a upgrade-all. There is a package added for legacy python 2, and I think that is what is missing.

Things from Ponce and Alienbob are fine, I use them as do many other slackers. What I was most concerned about was; you stated you had installed two python packages, cairo and pycairo from slackware.pkgs.org. These are part of a full install from Slackware. Make sure you remove the ones from this source, and install them from a trusted mirror. They may be good, but how knows?
i did already reistalled all packages and now i am only running into more troubles
cant install jdk for example. i am giving up there is better things to do than spending 5 hours figuring out how to install software on slackware ;-) ill try again later, thanks for you effort
FWIW, I install jdk from alienbob, all you do is run installpkg. His packages are binary, built on a clean system and they work.
I going to suggest, when you feel like it, post to the thread for packages not building on slackware. pick one package, in the case of flowblade, pick the first package you can not get built. Reference this thread so Ponce and the team there do not have to go back through basic PD, like we have done here.

Flowblade is something I want to have a go at when current becomes stable. I had too many problems getting it running on 14.2.
Other options worth trying are Blender and Cinelerra GG, but again the versions on current are probably a better bet at this stage. Use sbopkg with ponce's git repository to handle the build queue.
Some pretty good tutorials on YouTube for both.
There is Shotcut as well, which should be fairly easy to install on both 14.2 and current, although I don't think it's at SBo.
I believe kdenlive has improved a lot recently so that might be worth trying if you don't mind Plasma.
