As a root user, please open up /usr/bin/sbopkg in your favorite text
editor and uncomment the following line in the "Variables" section

UPDATE_DEBUG="1"
Then, save the file and rerun sbopkg. Please select the update
feature as normal and then exit sbopkg. A permanent log of the update
list will now be saved in $TMP/sbopkg-debug-updatelist. Please
forward this log to me via email to chess@chessgriffin.com or post in
the sbopkg mailing list, which can be found at the project's homepage:
This variable turns on a more detailed update list. This more
detailed list will list all SlackBuilds.org packages, and will list
package updates, packages that have no updates, packages that are not
in the repo, and packages for which the installed version is newer
than the repo version. This variable also saves the update list as a
permanent log, described below.
After this variable has been uncommented, save the sbopkg file and
rerun sbopkg. Please select the update feature as normal and then
exit sbopkg. The permanent log of the update list will now be saved
in $TMP/sbopkg-debug-updatelist.
Finally, in order to compare this permanent log with the actual list
of installed packages, please do as a root user:
# cd /var/log/packages; ls *SBo* > mypackagelist.txt
Please forward the permanent log and the mypackagelist.txt files to me
via email to chess@chessgriffin.com or post them in the sbopkg mailing
list, which can be found at the project's homepage:

Once you have forwarded or copied the log to a safe location, feel
free to comment out that single line in /usr/bin/sbopkg again, which
will then disable the creation of the permanent update log, keeping
your $TMP clean. Of course, leaving the line uncommented is fine as
well and will create a new $TMP/sbopkg-debug-updatelist each time the
update feature is used.

Thanks for your help!
