1. "multilib:" is exactly what setupmultilib.sh put into PKGS_PRIORITY, so maybe it also require correction
2. Changing to "multilib" helped with multilib packages on 6mt
3. TAG_PRIORITY is still ignored. I use custom kernel from my repository and with 6mt 'upgrade-all' offers me to 'upgrade' kernel packages from slackware/patches.
Distribution: Slackware64 15.0 (started with 13.37). Testing -current in a spare partition.

Rep:
I am having the same issue reported by majekw with the new slackpkgplus version.
In a -current with multilib, running 'slackpkg upgrade-all' shows gcc and glibc original
packages as upgrade to miltilib packages installed.
I set 'TAG_PRIORITY=on' and leave '#PKGS_PRIORITY' line commented and I update
multilib packages with slackpkg with the line
'REPOPLUS=( multilib slackpkgplus restricted alienbob rlworkman )'
That was working ok until the new slackpkgplus version.
After applying zerouno's patch, the gcc/glibc packages don't appear anymore.
The today upgrade of slackpkg on current broke slackpkg+ update process.
For now there is NO WORKAROUND (I saw it just now), so
DO NOT UPGRADE slackpkg !!!!
Code:
ap/slackpkg-2.83.0-noarch-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't remove ChangeLog.txt upon upgrade/reinstall.
Use CHECKSUMS.md5.asc to determine if ChangeLog.txt is unchanged.
I hope to fix slackpkg+ as soon or find a fast workaround

First thanks to the author(s) for providing slackpkg+. It helps a lot. I have a question concerning PKGS_PRIORITY. I am using it on -current and wonder how to set the PKGS_PRIORITY. Is it possible to configure it multiple times or is it suggested to write something like this: PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:vlc ktown ... )?
First all, you have to thank phenixia2003 for the improved PKGS_PRIORITY subsystem
Yes, you can configure multiple repositories and/or specific packages in PKGS_PRIORITY
My configuration is
PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib ktown )
You have to know that all repositories in PKGS_PRIORITY do override packages in slackware tree, so if you type
slackpkg upgrade kdevelop
slackpkg+ does remove the kdevelop from kde4 and intall kdevelop from kde5
Tipically this may be wanted, but sometime this may be wrong.
For example..
a repository 'xxxxxxx' contains many useful packages and a custom version of 'firefox' package. I just want to install the package 'yyyyyyyy'
If I configure
PKGS_PRIORITY=( xxxxxxx )
where I run
slackpkg install yyyyyyyy
or
slackpkg upgrade yyyyyyyy
it does install or upgrade the correct package.
but if I run
slackpg upgrade-all
it does upgrade the package 'yyyyyyyy' and remove the slackware official 'mozilla-firefox' and replace it with the custom version.
So to avoid this, you have to NOT put the repository in PKGS_PRIORITY but leave it in REPOPLUS
REPOPLUS=( xxxxxxx )
