It's good to see the list of possible candidate packages that are doing bad things. You might try installing the packages (other than gtk+2 and gtk+2-shlibs) in the dependency list individually to whittle the list down.
Also, we are having some problems with the new version of graphviz, so that might be a place to start. Try sudo apt-get install graphviz=1.16-1013 to install the version of that package from the binary distribution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
