"system-java14-dev"</code>, but there's no such package.</p>
+ <p>Fink says <code>Failed: Can't resolve dependency
"system-java-dev"</code>, but there's no such package.</p>
</question>
<answer>
- <p>That's because it's a virtual package. This type of error occurs
when Java gets updated by Software Update: the header files get removed, which
causes the -dev package not to be generated.</p>
- <p>You need to download the appropriate <filename>Java Developer
Tools</filename> package from <link
url="http://connect.apple.com";>Apple</link>. In this specific case that's the
<filename>Java 1.4.2 Developer Tools</filename>.</p>
+ <p>That's because it's a virtual package. At the time of this writing
(Jan. 2011), this issue
+ commonly shows up on Leopard and Snow Leopard due to changes in
Apple's Java packaging.</p>
+ <p>Make sure that your package manager version is <em>0.29.15</em> or
later, e.g. via</p>
+ <codeblock>fink -V</codeblock>
+ <p>If your <filename>fink</filename> version is older, use</p>
+ <codeblock>fink selfupdate</codeblock>
+ <p>If your Distribution version shows <em>point</em>, switch to rsync
or cvs updating via</p>
+ <codeblock>fink selfupdate-rsync</codeblock>
+ <p>or</p>
+ <codeblock>fink selfupdate-cvs</codeblock>
+ <p>You will also need to download the <filename>Java Developer
Package</filename> from <link url="http://connect.apple.com";>Apple</link>.</p>
