Probably the best way is by asking on the list.
OK, what about this one (that Fink is also asking when trying to install Sketch):
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) freetype2-shlibs: TrueType font rendering library, version 2, shared libs
(2) freetype2-hinting-shlibs: TrueType font rendering library, version 2, shared libs
I answered (1), was this OK?
Here are a few things I've seen (for the benefit of all newbies):
OK, noted.
No, it's still right. The problem is just that your system's package description's are out of date--all the package manager knows is that it needs the most recent version of gimp, according to what's on your system.
This is a bit strange as far as gimp an gimp-dev are concerned.
FinkCommanders says that the current "stable" version is 1.2.3-11, whereas the current "binary" is 1.2.4-1. Shouldn't the stable (i.e. source) version number be greater than or equal to the binary one, since binaries are compiled from sources (and not always available)?
I was surprised that sodipodi brought gimp in; it looks like the culprit is frontline, which has a splitoff (frontline-gimp-plugin) that in turn requires "gimp-dev". You may be able to install just gimp-dev from binary.
Sodipodi keeps on asking for gimp in its list of 127 packages (!) to be downloaded.
Otherwise go with sketch.
OK, it requires far less packages (only 27), and doesn't ask for gimp.
I got the following message:
"WARNING: While resolving dependency "python23-socket-ssl" for package "python23-2.3a2-2", package "python23-socket-ssl" was not found."
Is this OK?
