So its only because we don't have a deb for (old) gettext-tools? If I built the old gettext-tools first it would be OK?

Gah, I've been getting things wrong. Lemme see if I can get this straight. We have these packages in stable:

gettext (-bin -dev -tools) 0.10.40-19

And in unstable:

gettext (-dev) 0.10.40-24
libgettext3-shlibs (-dev gettext-bin gettext-doc) 0.14.5-1
gettext-tools (libgettextpo2-dev libgettextpo2-shlibs) 0.14.5-3

The problem occurs on the upgrade from gettext 0.10.x in stable to gettext 0.10.x in unstable, right? I was getting this mixed up before, so you can neglect my last mail.


What we need then is to ensure that the old gettext-bin/tools are no longer installed at the time when the new gettext is installed. Either the gettext-bin/tools packages could be completely uninstalled, or they could be upgraded to the new gettext-bin/tools-- both situations would work.

It's still possible that adding to the new gettext Conflicts: gettext- bin (<< 0.14.5-1), gettext-tools (<< 0.14.5-1) would satisfy, I'm not sure how the dep engine would treat that. Or, we could be hacky and add 'fink build gettext-bin gettext-tools' to the new gettext's CompileScript, like we used to do in some other weird case.


I'm unsure what to do about valknut/dclib0, I'm not sure that there's any good way to tell fink that it needs to uninstall an old valknut, then build the new dclib0, then build and install the new valknut.
