Hi

I'm finding the 'Blfs builder' very good after practice. One thing though.
Why are some empty package files in the tracking directory, /var/lib/jhalfs/
BLFS, pulled in on a next run, and some which have the right label are not?
Any ideas here?

Most are but some are just not recognized

I've got three in there with the correct package version and
numbers which won't move. I thought it might be linked the capital letters
but it's not.

No it's not this have checked.  As mentioned some are just integrated as expected

Have checked contents of instpkg.xml and they are definitely not being absorbed they just sit there.
