Hello all,
This is on a machine running OS X 10.4. The fink installation is in
a nonstandard directory due to some constraints of the (shared)
system: /Users/myusername/sw.
I need to install various unstable packages, so after my successful
install of fink, I added the unstable trees to my fink.conf and ran
fink selfupdate to get the new package list. Of course, that also
updates fink to the unstable version of itself and its dependencies
-- not ideal for my purposes, but I don't see how to update the
package list to include unstable things other than with selfupdate,
which updates fink as well. (The FAQ CVS solution would require me
to move around the relevant files for all of the many unstable
packages and dependencies I need, correct? I'd rather avoid that if
possible). The fink update wanted to update a few dependencies,
including gettext, where it failed. I've tried the following:
--running fink selfupdate again
--fink fetch gettext (worked fine), fink rebuild gettext (worked
fine), fink install gettext (fails -- error message below).
Any ideas would be very welcome. Error message notwithstanding, I
don't think it's a problem with dpkg-lockwait; it complains about
that script because the exec within the script (of dpkg -i etc.)
failed, so the script died.
$ fink install gettext

Thanks for your help,
