I've got the latest unstable fink on OS X 10.4.1. Tonight I ran into
a strange problem with a buildlock from a build that was done many
days ago. It was preventing fink from removing gettext-dev so it
could install libgettext3-dev.
I eventually forced its hand by trying a "fink remove gettext-dev",
which failed, but fink then suggested a "fink remove --recursive
gettext-dev", which worked.
While I appreciate that I eventually received a helpful hint from
fink, it seems strange that the problem occurred in the first place.
I don't know if this is a known bug, or if I stumbled across
something new.
======================
...
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/
libgettext3-dev_0.14.2-14_darwin-powerpc.deb
dpkg: considering removing gettext-dev in favour of libgettext3-
dev ...
dpkg: no, cannot remove gettext-dev (--auto-deconfigure will help):
fink-buildlock-kdelibs3-ssl-3.4.1-21 depends on gettext-dev
gettext-dev is to be removed.
You can always manually remove any package that dpkg says is causing a
problem. For example, either one of the following would probably have
solved it:
fink remove fink-buildlock-kdelibs3-ssl-3.4.1-21
dpkg -r fink-buildlock-kdelibs3-ssl-3.4.1-21
Buildlocks are just ordinary packages that fink uses internally.
Fink automatically cleans up buildlocks when it finishes building
(regardless of whether the build succeeded or not). The only way they
get left is if you crash your system or interrupt the lock removal
itself. No real way to program around that:(
Hmm. I haven't had any crashes since I installed Tiger, nor do I
recall interrupting any fink builds late in the build process. I
have interrupted one or two very early in the build process though.
