on Slackware64-current (all installs are system-wide):

root at slack150:~/sbo# python3 -V
Python 3.9.7

"python3 setup.py install --root=$PKG" of txsocksx-1.15.0.2 gives

error in txsocksx setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; 'int' object is not iterable

removing in setup.py the following lines fixes it
    install_requires=install_requires,
    packages=['txsocksx', 'txsocksx.test'],

root at slack150:~/sbo# tahoe --version-and-path   (or   tahoe -V )  gives

tahoe-lafs/1.16.0rc0

root at slack150:~/sbo# python3 -c "import pkg_resources;print ([d.project_name+': '+d.version for d in set(pkg_resources.require('tahoe-lafs'))])"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 886, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 772, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'argparse>=0.8' distribution was not found and is required by zfec

but argparse is included in that py3 version. again, removing in
zfec's 1.5.5 setup.py the following lines fixes it after rebuilding and
reinstalling zfec
    install_requires=[
        "argparse >= 0.8",
    ],

root at slack150:~/sbo# python3 -c "import pkg_resources;print ([d.project_name+': '+d.version for d in set(pkg_resources.require('tahoe-lafs'))])"

gives

BUT

the dependency cryptography 3.4.8 downloads and compiles a bunch of rust
foo. that issue will have to be addressed by the buildscript of
cryptography because it's a no-go at slackbuilds.org (the maintainer
is already happy about it, narf)

creating a node works

tahoe at slack150:~$ tahoe --node-directory ~/.tahoe create-node --hostname=127.0.0.1

adapting the config and adding the already-running introducer via
deprecated introducer.furl works too

that plugin cache write error does not cause any problems so far
