To follow up on my earlier question:

I edited the Scribus info file to point to freetype2. However, when I
try to install Scribus, it's still listing freetype219 as a dependency.
What steps do I need to take to rehash the database so the change in
dependency is detected?

| FinkCommander, just as fink, apt-get, and dpkg, only know about files

| The prefix is correct, and the pieces you are showing are installed at
| the same places where Fink installs them in the end, too, except for the
| aclocal stuff that the standard "make install" procedure doesn't
| install. You don't say if you got the library compiled.

| I am not sure if there is a better place.
|
| The problem is that this does not seem to be reproducible except for you
| and your 2 unfortunate colleagues. I am still very much convinced that
| something in your basic Unix setup is not right, either one of the basic
| tools or a shell or an environment variable or something weird in a
| shell startup script.
|
| As I explained in the mail thread you are referencing, the problem is
| that for some reason your make process does not compute a variable
| correctly that should stand for a certain directory. In your case this
| variable is empty. Why this is so is very hard to find out from the
| distance.
