Thanks for the help. Here are some related lines in status. db48-aes' occurs many times and I tried to excerpt just the ones where it seems to be getting installed rather than being listed as a dependency for other packages. ----------------- Package: db44-aes Status: install ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: crypto Installed-Size: 6488 Maintainer: None <[email protected]> Architecture: darwin-powerpc Source: db44-aes Version: 4.4.20-1008 Replaces: db, db3, db31 (<< 3.1.17-8), db4-ssl, db4, db41-ssl, db41, db42-ssl, db42, db43-ssl, db43, db44, db47-aes, db47, db47-aes-64bit, db47-64bit, db48-aes, db48, db48-aes-64bit, db48-64bit, db50-aes, db50, db50-aes-64bit, db50-64bit, db51-aes, db51, db51-aes-64bit, db51-64bit Depends: db44-shlibs (= 4.4.20-1008) | db44-aes-shlibs (= 4.4.20-1008), darwin (>= 8-1) Conflicts: db, db3, db31 (<< 3.1.17-8), db4-ssl, db4, db41-ssl, db41, db42-ssl, db42, db43-ssl, db43, db44, db47-aes, db47, db47-aes-64bit, db47-64bit, db48-aes, db48, db48-aes-64bit, db48-64bit, db50-aes, db50, db50-aes-64bit, db50-64bit, db51-aes, db51, db51-aes-64bit, db51-64bit Description: Berkeley DB embedded database - crypto .
