The new slackbuild installs, but as soon as I execute it goes to segmentation fault when trying to Read Slackbuilds repository. I'm not sure what is happening, but reinstalling 0.1.1 doesn't have this issue.
Hm, okay, thanks for reporting. I haven't had that happen, but that's what testing is for, I guess. There must be something about your local repository that it is causing it to choke, maybe a missing file or something. Is there any way you could tar up the entire repository (whatever is listed for repo_dir) and share it? That way I could test with your repository and hopefully fix whatever the issue is or at least have it give a useful warning.
As a workaround, I'm pretty sure that if you delete the repository and then use your package manager (sbotools I think you said?) to create it again, the problem will go away. If not, then it must be something in your /var/log/packages directory that sboui isn't handling right.

However, when I run the "List inverse deps" for libinput it does NOT show that it is a dependency for keepassxc. Am I interpreting the "List inverse deps" wrong or should it be showing libinput is a dependency of keepassxc? Or is this an error in the slackbuild file itself, because I checked the slackbuild "REQUIRES" field of keepassxc and it only shows qt5 as required. Am I confused and it is all "user error"? Thanks.
The inverse dependencies search only operates on things that you have installed, and if you are missing something in the chain, it won't be able to go further up. When you do "Compute Build Order" for keepassxc, are there any dependencies listed that you don't have installed?
Thanks for your testing and feedback, by the way. You are definitely helping improve it.

This is the dmesg

I'm not sure what is happening, but reinstalling 0.1.1 doesn't have this issue. It appears to be a library issue maybe?

I'll have to try this and see if it actually makes a difference. But should I do this based on the DMESG error?

As you were answering I think I was editing my reply and added the following "..and also in the "Compute Build Sequence" for keepassxc." So to answer your question, yes libinput shows in the build sequence for keepassxc and everything except qt5 (AlienBob's package is installed) is marked as installed. So keepassxc is recognising it needs libinput and it is marked as installed. Next step?

That is probably just the final line in the backtrace. It doesn't actually mean libstdc++ is the culprit, just that it reported it. So yes, you should try regenerating the repository and see if that fixes it. But please save a copy of the repository in its current state first, because I'd like to figure out what's causing the segfault.
The other possible culprit is your /var/log/packages directory. I know you were talking about changing the names of files in there before. If you ended up creating an illegal package name, that could definitely cause this problem. Could you post the output of:
Code:
ls /var/log/packages
on pastebin.com?
Whatever the reason for your error, whether its sboui's fault or not, I want to fix sboui so it catches it instead of segfaulting. segfaulting is never an acceptable result.

Right, so this problem is fixed in sboui-0.2. You are only seeing it because qt5 was installed from Alien Bob's repo, and sboui-0.1.1 will ignore any package that doesn't have the "_SBo" tag. One of the fixes/enhancements in 0.2 is to make sure those packages show up as installed even if they don't have that tag. The reason why "List inverse deps" for libinput doesn't find keepassxc is because the inverse dependency search requires an unbroken chain of installed dependencies, and for you that chain gets broken at qt5. But like I said, that wouldn't happen with version 0.2.
PS Has anyone besides bamunds given sboui a try?

I copied the repository, then removed the original, then resync it from scratch, including letting it build the location. Then removed sboui-0.1.1 and installed sboui-0.2. After installation it still segment faults. I then removed 0.2 and installed 0.1.1 and everything works again as normal. So I'm going to need to have some direction on what else you want me to capture?

Actually I changed only one name directly, i.e. sddm-0.12.0-x86_64-1alien_SBo. But I have since removed that package and re-installed a later package sddm-0.14.0-x86_64-1alien_SBo after building it from source per AlienBob's instructions. There is a copy of my /var/log/packages at https://pastebin.com/PaB0SZYf for your inspection of the packages installed.

Will this be true for all packages then? Or are you only correcting for -1alien in addition to _SBo?
At this point I'm still able to use sbotools and sboui-0.1.1 directly without any conflicts, with the understanding that it is only showing packages currently in the slackbuild directory. That the seven packages I've installed directly from AlienBob will have to be managed separately. I do have a couple of custom installs; brave.rpm, skypeforlinux.rpm, from rpm2tgz package installs and XnViewMP.deb from src2pkg install. I wouldn't think those are causing a problem for 0.2 since their tags are standard. The only thing I notice is it looks like when XnViewMP was upgraded somehow the older version was left in /var/log/packages so two version are showing, but that really shouldn't be an issue since that package is not from SlackBuilds.
There is one additional behaviour for sboui-0.2, which is that although I press "q" to quit the program it instead suddenly causing 100% load on my CPU1 until I kill sboui, probably a result of the segmentation fault.

In that case, don't worry about it. If it still happens with a fresh repository, then that must not be the problem.

Actually, would you mind posting the output of `ls /var/log/packages` here in [CODE][/CODE] tags instead? I can't get to the pastebin site currently.

In 0.2, any installed package with the same name as something in the repo will show up properly. It doesn't matter what the tag is. However, if it doesn't end with _SBo, you will see a warning whenever you try to upgrade/reinstall/remove a package like that.
(Actually, the _SBo tag is just the default. You can change it if you want with the repo_tag variable.)

Open to ideas for what to try or investigate.
I don't understand this part. If it segfaults while reading the repository, the kernel should kill the process. I don't see how it could still be alive and using CPU at that point.

If you are feeling really adventurous, you could use gdb to trace down where the segfault is happening. You will need to change the SlackBuild script to enable debugging symbols first. The line that needs to be changed is the following:
Code:
cd build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
make install DESTDIR=$PKG
cd ..
Change it to:
Code:
cd build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
make install DESTDIR=$PKG
cd ..
Then, rebuild sboui using the SlackBuild script and reinstall it with `upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new /tmp/sboui-0.2*.tgz`. Now you can use gdb to debug it as follows:
Code:
gdb sboui
>> run
(After the segfault occurs:)
>> backtrace
This should tell you where exactly in the code the problem occurred.
Again, the above is totally optional and only if you feel like it. This is the same process I plan to use once I am able to see your /var/log/packages list and hopefully reproduce the problem.
The following is the build log. I notice a number of warnings about variable 'rows' set but not used.

Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.
This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

Yup, don't worry about those warnings. They are inconsequential and unavoidable in this case.
Here are the run and backtrace files after the installation which still segfaults.

In both cases I had to use HTOP to kill the running instance of sboui.
When I run straight then it simply segfaults.
Again, I'm willing to help debug this issue, but no programmer or application development skills, so please help with instructions on what to do next.
Thank you for posting your package list. I know LQ isn't really designed for posting such long lists. Your problem is that you have several files in /var/log/packages with illegal package names:
A package in Slackware must have the following structure:
name-version-arch-build
The name is allowed to have multiple words separated by dashes, so that means that each file in /var/log/packages must have at least four words separated by dashes. The ones listed above have only two or three. I'm not sure how they ended up there. If you remove those files from /var/log/packages or rename them to something valid, sboui will no longer segfault, but if I were you I would look into removing the contents of the packages and reinstalling them properly.
Anyway, I have added error checking for bad package names to sboui so that it will warn you about them and continue on without segfaulting. That will appear in the next patch release (0.2.1). Thanks again for helping me track it down!

Are you sure you installed /tmp/sboui-0.2-x86_64-1_mntg.tgz (using `upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new /tmp/sboui-0.2-x86_64-1_mntg.tgz`) after building it? Your gdb output is saying there are no debugging symbols, but it should have them since you rebuilt it with the "Debug" build type.
Anyway, I'm certain that your problem is those bad package names in /var/log/packages, so there's no need to continue with this gdb route unless you want to for your own curiosity's sake. After you're done, you should reinstall sboui again with the "Release" build type for the best performance.
... Your problem is that you have several files in /var/log/packages with illegal package names:
XnViewMP-linux-0.83.x64
brave-0.13.0.x86_64

The official slackware packages don't always have four words ex aspell-en-7.1_0-x86_64-1.txz, at-spi2-atk-2.18.1-x86_64-1.txz, and polkit-kde-agent-1-9d74ae3_20120104git-x86_64-2.txz. So although there maybe a common standard it is not strictly held to by all developers.

As I indicated in an earlier post, those packages were created using rmp2tgz and src2pkg. I would have thought that since rpm2tgz is a standard slackware package that it would set the package name correctly? And while src2pkg is not official, it is widely used for conversion of Debian packages when rpm's aren't available. I've also been told that there is a number of limited places to put dashes and everything else must be underscore, ex -1bamunds_SBo is acceptable but -1bamunds-SBo would not be acceptable. For anyone else coming across this page in the future, the following link is from the Slackware official documentation site http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sla...ding_a_package about building packages and describes package naming. What would be the simple way for a person to test their /var/log/packages for compliance going forward?
As for my package names causing the segfault... I've removed, renamed and installpkg the three offending packages and indeed sboui-0.2 now runs correctly. I haven't fully tested yet, but will continue to provide feedback.
When I now look at keepassxc it's dependencies have all four packages listed and marked as installed. When I look at libinput (a dependency of keepassxc) it shows that it is a dependency for qt5, qt5-webkit, and keepassxc. This is consistent with my written records of dependencies. So it looks like you've identified the issue in 0.2 and how to enhance 0.2.1.
Also I'm surprised that sboui-0.1.1 did NOT seg fault for this reason. Is it a result of the new code you inserted looking for all packages?
I can say that the application interface now starts in less than one second! Fantastic!

What about the build warnings about the 'rows' variable not being used?
Yes I'm sure that I had modified the CMAKE statement in the slackbuild correctly and used that corrected script to build the installed package. Could it be an issue with either my cmake-3.5.2-x86_64-1, gdb-7.11.1-x86_64-1, or gdbm-1.12-x86_64-1 versions? Or maybe the build environment, I didn't set any special environments?
Do I need to rebuild without the debug code setting or can I continue to run with it as is?
The official slackware packages don't always have four words ex aspell-en-7.1_0-x86_64-1.txz, at-spi2-atk-2.18.1-x86_64-1.txz, and c. So although there maybe a common standard it is not strictly held to by all developers.
The name may include any number of dashes because the dashes are counted from the right. Examples:
