WW_FILE_SEARCH=on
SHOWORDER=package
DETAILED_INFO=none
STRICTGPG=on
PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib restricted alienbob)
TAG_PRIORITY=off
REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus restricted alienbob multilib )
MIRRORPLUS['multilib']=http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/14.2/
MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/sbrepos/14.2/x86_64/
MIRRORPLUS['restricted']=http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/restricted_sbrepos/14.2/x86_64/

I tested your config as well and the package search for 'alienbob' worked as expected. Your search is only returning the packages in the alienbob repo that are labeled with 'noarch'. I'm not sure why that is the case. Is there anything in your blacklist file?

here the result of the command
Code:
~# slackpkg blacklist
Packages in blacklist:
~#
/etc/slackpkg/blacklist is empty
As for my understanding, I have no blacklist in place

I'm also seeing 400+ packages from the alienbob repository
What version of slackpkg+ are you using?
This should be what you see.
Code:
# slackpkg help | grep "slackpkg - version"
slackpkg - version 2.83.0 / slackpkg+ 1.7.0
Edit: I see nothing wrong with your slackpkgplus.conf

This is the version came with 14.2, and there is no update in patches
I'll try to install the 2.83 version downloading directly
___EDIT_____
After updating to 2.83, nothing changed

I was wondering whether a strange architecture would make slackpkg only consider "noarch" packages, but if your machine is x64_64 then slackpkg should pick that as the value for the ARCH variable. No explanation then (yet) for the fact that it will only show you the "noarch" packages and not the "x86_64" packages.

I am using Slackware64-current, you seem to be using Slackware64-14.2, I'd advise you to to put it back to version 2.82.1 that comes with 14.2
Something seems wrong with your database. You can safely delete /var/lib/slackpkg/ and rebuild it as follows:
Code:
# rm -rf /var/lib/slackpkg/
# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update
This "should" fix the issue.

Unfortunately it did not fix the problem
I've tried also to force the ARC to x86_64, but nothing changed
Could be the awk script the did not work correctly parsing PACKAGES.TXT?
