Jack, I edited devel/po4a.info as you suggested. It did not change the prompt:
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) texlive-nox-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation (2) texlive-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation However, I selected option 2 and evince successfully built! I'm now installing inkscape, which should go well given that the problematic dependencies were for building evince. Should I go back and edit po4a.info to undo the changes I made?
