[snip] > Most of these are packages wanting db3, at least one wants ncurses5, OK, in my opinion, this behavior as reported by Robert indicates that the buildlock system is not yet working as it should. Fink is "supposed" to be able to switch back and forth among db3 vs. db42, or ncurses5 vs. libncurses5. So shouldn't we be trying to restore the dependencies of the buildlock package, instead of just refusing to install it? (For example, we could add each new deb to the scanpackages database just after it's built, and then ask apt-get (rather than dpkg) to install the buildlock... which would "put back" a .deb that just got removed, presumably.) -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
