Thank you for working on this! Problem on 10.4/ppc, all up-to-date unstable as of a few days ago: % fink update libkpathsea4 The following package will be built: libkpathsea4 The following additional package will be installed: texlive-texmf While trying to install: texlive-texmf-0.20080822-1 The following inconsistencies found: Unsatisfied dependency in tetex-base: tetex-texmf (>= 3.0-1) Trying to resolve dependencies... Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies! Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to fix things by running: fink scanpackages sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install texlive-texmf=0.20080822-1 Doing that fails with: texlive-texmf: Conflicts: tetex-texmf It's a bug in the whole way texlive tries to be compatible with tetex: "Provides" do not contain versioning information, so a dependency that specifies a version can never be satisfied by a Provides. Because there are packages that have versioned dependencies on tetex-texmf, that must continue to exist as a real package itself. A further or more general technical issue is that a Provides/Replaces/Conflicts for a certain name never works like you expect if the given name is also a real package. That's an intentional (to Debian) limit or distinction between a Provides item vs a Package item. I do not know anything about tex, but this sounds like a standard obsolete/renamed package situation. Does texlive-texmf supply the same program-names as tetex-texmf did? You could have texlive-texmf *just* "Replaces" it, and then supply an updated tetex-texmf that is empty and just specifies "Depends:texlive-texmf". That's the standard way to migrate to a new package-name for the same or updated contents. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
