Hi there, I'm running into some errors when installing Fink 0.28.1 from source. My system: Mac OS X Server 10.5.2 (Build 9C31), XCode 3.0, X11 2.2.1, Perl 5.8.8. When handling the debianutils-package it keeps hanging when installing /._. because some other package (base-files) also has that file...
Last piece of my Terminal - if you want I can post the full log: dpkg-deb: building package `debianutils' in `/sw/fink/10.5/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-11_darwin-powerpc.deb'. dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-11_darwin-powerpc.deb Selecting previously deselected package debianutils. (Reading database ... 60 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking debianutils (from .../debianutils_1.23-11_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... /sw/bootstrap/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-11_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/._.', which is also in package base-files Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-11_darwin-powerpc.deb ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 can't install package debianutils-1.23-11 How can I get past this error? It's getting very frustrating not being able to install Fink (and because of that some other software). I have been able to install Fink earlier on exactly the same system, but I had to reinstall. I tried to remove the ._. file by opening the debianutils.....deb file with Debian Linux and deleting the ._. from the archive but that didn't work out. Installing from root to bypass writepermissions (being able to overwrite other files installed by root) didn't help either. Somebody any ideas? Post the same message in the Fink-tracker-group? Didn't know where to go with this error, so I placed it here. Hope to get some help!
