sbopkg not showing some packages installed from Alien Bob
by quickbreakfast from LinuxQuestions.org on (#546DV)
I am running 14.2, stable, with the lastest version of sbopkg and have found that sbopkg has a habit of not showing installed packages.
It seems to be packages taken from Alien Bob's that don't show up. Which is troublesome because I really don't want two copies of (for example) qt5 in this computer.
I have found this thread and applied the fix on post #12
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...es-4175666729/
Which suggest adding a / to the end of /var/log/packages in /usr/sbin/sbopkg
without fixing the problem.
So is it a matter of searching my computer to see whether a package is already present and if not installing it, or is there some other cure?
If I need to search to see whether a package is installed, what code should I use?
