I'm testing three new sylpheed packages, and discovered that a
particular combination of events apparently causes fink to crash.
Perhaps my .info files are to blame, but I still suspect that fink is
not working as intended.
First, a few details on my setup:
fink -V | head -n 2:
Package manager version: 0.26.0
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc
sw_vers:
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.4.8
BuildVersion: 8L127
machine is a G4
Second, the relevant portions of the info files.
========================================================================
=======
sylpheed.info
Package: sylpheed
Version: 2.3.0
Revision: 1
Conflicts: sylpheed-ssl (<<2.3.0-1), sylpheed-gpgme
Replaces: sylpheed-ssl (<<2.3.0-1), sylpheed-gpgme
========================================================================
=======
sylpheed-ssl.info
Package: sylpheed-ssl
Type: bundle
Version: 2.3.0
Revision: 1
Depends: sylpheed-gpgme, fink-obsolete-packages
Description: Placeholder package to update to unified %N. (OBSOLETE)
========================================================================
=======
sylpheed-gpgme.info

The crash - sylpheed-ssl and sylpheed-gpgme were both installed. I
get an apparent crash if I do a "fink install sylpheed":
% fink install sylpheed

Is there a better way to craft the .info files to avoid this
problem? Or, is this purely an implementation problem in fink
itself, and it will eventually be fixed?
I agree that this is an unlikely series of events, so maybe I don't
need to try to fix it.
