Well, I think I can explain this. The ptex-base in stable has a long list of Provides: Provides: << tetex-base, tetex3-base, ptex3-base, mendexk, context, dvipdfm, epstopdf, pdftex, tetex-macosx, (%type_raw[-nox] = .) xdvik << whereas the ptex-base in unstable only Provides ptex3-base and mendexk. This means that if another package asks for tetex3-base, for example, then fink has two choices: ptex-base and tetex-base. Since ptex-base is earlier in the alphabet, the automated script chooses ptex-base. But since only the stable version Provides tetex3-base, the stable version is used. I do not know why the Provides line in ptex-base was changed. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
