sorry Alex
dpkg -- configure -a didn't work
dpkg --configure -pendiing didn't work
dpkg --configure <listing the problem dependencies> didn't work
I cant undertand why I keep getting this circular around and around on
dependencies...Fink was supposed to keep track of this...My installing
the Darwin ports collection should not have any effect on fink .
I read the dpkg man page and tried the options it mentions but none of
them worked.
I now can't remove gimp because it isn't fully installed.
How do I suck out the problem pieces and manually reinstall?
I mean this is retarded...another install on another mac went fine...
