Hmmm...you've got me stumped...
Mich=E8le Garoche sent me a message (which probably should have gone to
the list, but I didn't notice that fact) suggesting to try installing
libgettext3-shlibs to clear this up.
I just gave that a shot, but unfortunately that package requires
gettext as a dependency. When it tries to install gettext...well,
you know what happens.
Any idea what could cause the timestamp errors? I'm doing the build
on the same machine as the install. The directory is an NFS share
from a SAN, but I wouldn't think there could be a time discrepancy
there. And no other directories complain about that.
Alternatively: I could avoid this whole situation by sticking with
the stable tree version of fink and its dependencies, if I knew of a
way to have fink update the package tree to include unstable packages
without updating itself to the unstable version of fink itself in the
process. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
--Sarah
