Hello,

I am using fink unstable on 10.4.11 @i386. My recent

$ fink selfupdate && fink update-all

failed, apparently due to dependence inconsistencies.

I managed to update all but one outdated package in smaller chunks using  
fink install. The single package that remains problematic is  
scipy-core-py26:


$ fink install scipy-core-py26
The package 'scipy-core-py26' will be built and installed.
Reading dependency for scipy-core-py26-1.3.0-6...

The package 'numpy-py26' will be installed.
Reading dependency for numpy-py26-1.3.0-7...
The following package will be installed or updated:
  scipy-core-py26
The following additional package will be installed:
  numpy-py26
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

        All buildlocks accounted for.

While trying to install:
   numpy-py26-1.3.0-7

The following inconsistencies found:
   Unsatisfied dependency in pygtk2-gtk-py26: scipy-core-py26

Trying to resolve dependencies...
Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies!

Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able  
to
fix things by running:

   fink scanpackages
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install numpy-py26=1.3.0-7

Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies


Wait, do I get this right? Installing scipy-core-py26 requires installing  
numpy-py26, which in turn requires removing scipy-core-py26? This sounds  
rather absurd to me, and moreover, the latter would break consistency with  
various other packages:


$ fink scanpackages
[...] (OK)
$ sudo apt-get update
[...] (OK)
$ sudo apt-get install numpy-py26=1.3.0-7
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   gnome-desktop gnome-python2-py26 pygtk2-gtk-py26 pygtk2-gtk-py26-dev  
scipy-core-py26
The following NEW packages will be installed:
   numpy-py26
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2711kB of archives. After unpacking 25.9MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.


Am I really supposed to remove such a broad set of packages to finish this  
update-all consistently? I hope not, but I do not see a better way, so  
far. In fact, I cannot even track down why installing numpy-py26 would  
require removing scipy-core-py26.


Thank you in advance for any helpful hints.
