I tried to tweak a slackware install with slpkg but most of the
attempted and mostly music-related apps with ghosted icons in the bottom
of the right deskbar failed. The error is shown in the screenshot:

qjackctl
qsynth
rosegarden
audacity
yoshimi
tuxguitar
sonicvisualiser
jack_capture

+ google-earth-pro?


TIA for any hints

The error message in the screenshot seems to indicate that something is
wrong with the python code within slpkg itself.

Has your slpkg installation ever worked without such error messages? If
so, have you since then upgraded to a perhaps broken version of slpkg? Or
have you perhaps upgraded any python packages in your Slackware
installation?

Which version of Slackware are you running?

Did you install python3-pythondialog version 3.5.3 using the SlackBuild
script from https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/python/python3-pythondialog/ ?

Did you install python3-tomlkit 0.13.2 using the SlackBuild script from https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/python/python3-tomlkit/ ?

Did you install slpkg version 5.2.1 using thh SlackBuild script from https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/slpkg/ ?
