To prevent this, Fink (from CVS HEAD) now refuses to install
anything unless it determines that all dependencies on the system
will be satisfied. Currently there's a primitive problem-resolver
algorithm in Fink, which can deal with the specific situation
above but not much else. The general solution is running 'apt-get
-f install', as you did.
If anybody has a problem with this new way of doing things, now's
the time to tell me. I could make Fink less strict if people need
the ability to have some broken deps.
Maybe some additional output would be useful. I was at the standard
verbosity level, and from the error message I didn't understand at
all what to do about this. Maybe if at verbosity 2 (standard) it
already said that it was the gdal and gdal-shlibs packages that had
problems with their dependencies, this would be useful and would
allow to look at them and detect that they were at different
version numbers.
I would think some way to opt-out of the scheme, on a pkg by pkg basis
(say in the spirit of dpkg's --auto-deconfigure), would be needed.
After updating fink-HEAD and selfupdating, I issue a command to update
in this order the following ("families of") pkgs:
python22 python22-socket-ssl python23 python23-socket-ssl python24
python24-socket-ssl passwd fontforge qt3 kdebase3-unified
Result:
The following package will be rebuilt:
python22
The following additional package will be installed:
db3
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (assuming default)
Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies! The following errors
remain:
Unsatisfied dependency in font-ttf-pm-bin: font-ttf-pm (= 0.34-1)
Unsatisfied dependency in peacock: gtkhtml
Unsatisfied dependency in wv2-shlibs: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in libgnomedb-shlibs: libgettext3 (>=
0.10.40-5)
Unsatisfied dependency in anubis: gpgme
Unsatisfied dependency in conglomerate: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in gtkmm2-shlibs: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in pwlib-bin: pwlib-shlibs (= 1.5.2-12)
Unsatisfied dependency in lablgtk: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in gtkmm2: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in mldonkey: libgettext3
Unsatisfied dependency in ximian-connector: gtkhtml3 (>= 3.2.1-1)
Unsatisfied dependency in module-signature-pm586-bin:
module-signature-pm586 (= 0.44-2)
Unsatisfied dependency in xine-ui: xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs
Unsatisfied dependency in xine-ui: xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs
Unsatisfied dependency in gtetrinet2: gnome-vfs2-shlibs
Conflict of ppower4: pdfslide is satisfied by pdfslide
Unsatisfied dependency in totem: libxine (>= 1-rc5-25)
To fix manually, run:
fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install db3=3.3.11-26
Most of them I could fix by hand (the libgettext3 stuff dates from
the time
we were asked to test that new pkg); but any fink command to do this
(eg,
"fink install gtkhtml") LEADS BACK TO THE SAME MSG !
Now several things can be done with just the dpkg commands, but for some
one has to modify the info file, to change the deps, and then actually
rebuild (and reinstall) the pkg _ and for this ONE NEEDS FINK.
Others (eg, the conflict) are there because I deliberately decided
to ignore the conflict,
and to know which pause.sty came first in my TEXINPUTS path, and to mv
things when needed. For this type of thing, an opt-out mechanism
would be useful,
to avoid the cost of having every time to modify one or two info-files
_ eg to introduce an update-alternatives mechanism for pause.sty _ ,
and to rebuild both pkgs.
An additional reason is that in some cases the pkgs involved may
still be perfectly
functional, but for one or other reason one of them no longer builds
(eg, totem).
