By default, sbopkg will only look for packages that comes with SBo tag, so it will not find any package that is coming from third party repository and have different tag name. However, you can try to use -k parameter to avoid installing packages what's already installed in your system, but AFAIK, the above rules apply. -- Willy Sudiarto Raharjo
