I don't know for sure if your problem has been fixed in newer versions of slpkg, I can only say for sure that version 4.1.3 worked fine for me some week ago when I used it to install packages.

Where did you find that version and why did you choose to install version 3.4.3? At slackbuilds.org the version for Slackware 15.0 is 4.1.3. If you don't choose to use slackbuilds.org and instead download directly from the source given above ( https://dslackw.gitlab.io/slpkg/ ) you will again get version 4.1.3.

I get 100% from "slkpk health" on my system, a lower number means that some of your installed packages have missing files. My guess is that would be caused by messing around removing files from the installation with other tools than Slackware package management tools.

regards Henrik

Perhaps if you are on Slackware 14.2 still you forgot to update the ca-certificates package and run "update-ca-certificates --fresh"?
Do you habitually apply the patches that are released for Slackware 14.2?

I did that

Code:
bash-4.3# update-ca-certificates --fresh
Clearing symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs...
done.
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
173 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
But it did not solve the problem.

I tried a few things here.

Code:
bash-4.3# slpkg -q thonny --add

Add packages in the queue:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/slpkg", line 41, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/main.py", line 853, in main
    arguments[args[0]]()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/main.py", line 512, in pkg_queue
    queue.add(self.args[1:])
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/sbo/queue.py", line 99, in add
    find = sbo_search_pkg(pkg)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/sbo/search.py", line 39, in sbo_search_pkg
    _meta_.lib_path + "sbo_repo/SLACKBUILDS.TXT")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/slpkg/utils.py", line 62, in read_file
    with open(registry, "r") as file_txt:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/slpkg/sbo_repo/SLACKBUILDS.TXT'
bash-4.3# slpkg -c SLACKBUILDS.TXT --upgrade

slpkg: Error: Repository 'SLACKBUILDS.TXT' does not exist

bash-4.3# slpkg -c SLACKBUILDS.TXT --download-only

slpkg: Error: Repository 'SLACKBUILDS.TXT' does not exist

bash-4.3# ls /var/lib/slpkg/sbo_repo/
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/slpkg/sbo_repo/': No such file or directory
bash-4.3# ls /var/lib/slpkg/
queue  slack_repo

ls: cannot access '/var/lib/slpkg/sbo_repo/': No such file or directory
bash-4.3# ls /var/lib/slpkg/sbo_repo/
slpkg is looking for directories and files that do not exist.

Apparently slpkg is using wget by default to download things:

https://gitlab.com/dslackw/slpkg/-/b.../downloader.py

Can you reproduce the certificate error when you're downloading from that link directly with wget from command line? If you can, then it's not a slpkg issue.

I was reading up on wget and ended up going down the Slackpkg rabbit hole.
In the process I came across a ca.certificate update which I ran.
Problem solved.

However -health still shows 98%

Whoops, my bad. I installed the latest slpkg from slackbuilds.org for Slackware 15.0. Again though, that was some week ago and I then got version 3.9.8. Things are moving fast here.

I have no experience from sbopkg myself and can't say for sure why it chooses an older version. Searching for slpkg at slackbuilds.org they suggest version 3.9.1 for Slackware 14.2 and version 4.1.3 for Slackware 15.0 at the time of this writing.

The syntax is:

Code:
slpkg -s sbo thonny
To install thonny with all its dependencies from slackbuilds.org.

Thanks I did that but 1 dependency did not install. The details of that are listed under another thread.
