I have Slackware ARM 15 Raspberry Pi (RPi) 3 & RPi 4 and replaced sendmail w/postfix, though kept extra/ pasture/ testing/ in slackpkg.conf in case want to install from it.

When I 'slackpkg install-new' it selects install sendmail. Should it not do that or must I remove its package set? I have same package sets in Slackware(32|64) 15 slackpkg.conf but never selects install sendmail...

You can blacklist sendmail, by adding sendmail and sendmail-cf in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist

Thanks for reminding me, but seems there's a bug that should be fixed so one doesn't have to do that.

You should head over to the slackpkg thread in the main Slackware forum. This is likely not a bug in Slackware ARM specifically. Your report should get better visibility there.

I wasn't using beta yet.

Perhaps try it. The only time someone had packages installed that they had previously de-selected, was when I first released the armv7 hardware floating point into -current (which is now Slackware ARM 15.0). If you look at the bottom of the change log, all packages are 'Added'. I didn't do this for AArch64 for this reason.
However thinking about it, I'm not sure why it'd cause a problem -- what about any other packages that are in the change log marked 'Added'?

There's nothing special about the change log for ARM so I imagine it's a bug in slackpkg.
