Many sbo repository errors
 

Hi All,

I seem to be getting a lot of errors when trying to install quite a few applications from the sbopkg 13.0 repository.

Just questioning if anyone else is having similar issues, is the site maintained ? 13.1 has been about for a while now and there is no active 13.1 repository yet ?

The error is similar in all applications

" MD5SUM check for ........ OK
error occurred with build. Please check log."

I am running slack current 32bit and am wondering if this is causing the errors.

Just wondering

Thanx

which repository and which version of sbopkg are you using?
you should see that repository in a file inside /etc/sbopkg/repos.d/
sbopkg has no script repository, it uses by default the ones of http://slackbuilds.org, and there is a 13.1 repository active from quite some time now there. :)

Do you possibly have an older version of sbopkg or maybe just an older version of it's config file? You will have a TON of problems trying to build packages for 13 on current. There is definitely a 13.1 script repo and I have had very few issues with 13.1 slackbuilds on current.

The SlackBuilds for 13.0 were designed for bash 3.x, which did not exit the shell (when `set -e` is set) when a subshell returns an error. bash 4 (included with 13.1) will exit if a subshell returns an error (when `set -e` is set). You'd have to throw `|| true` after certain commands to get SlackBuilds for 13.0 working in 13.1 -- but your best bet is, of course, to use the 13.1 repository.
