I just told fink to remove it. :)
(more info than you probably need ahead........) What is 'fink list perl581-core'? I expect it's flagged "*i*", which means you do have it but it isn't presently available from fink. Some packages are only designed for certain OS X versions, so if you install such a package on OS X 10.x (which has a pkg) then upgrade to 10.x+1 (which doesn't), you now have a package that is obsolete and/or somehow broken on your machine. If you *didn't* have it installed, you would not be able to install it (and it wouldn't appear in "fink list" even as an uninstalled pkg). Fink doesn't have a clean way (either in function or policy) to get rid of these in general, but you can 'fink list -N' to see them and choose to install newer perl-versions of them, remove them, or leave them and hope that they still work. OTOH, sometimes mistakes are made in the .info files, so a few -pmXXX often accidentally exist for OS X versions where they should not (and where the perlXXX for them doesn't either). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
