Mathias, Thanks for the info. I got over the original problem last night by basically doing what you suggest. I didn't know about the force-remove option, so I manually removed all the dependencies for libjpeg, then installed it again. I then got a similar node exists message for zlib, so I did the same thing again. That let me get gnome-vfs working. Now I'm working on installing gnumeric (which was the reason why I needed gnome-vfs), and it complains about a node already existing for gnome-print. I'm trying a rebuild gnome-print now - if that doesn't work I'll remove and reinstall it. I'm starting to wonder if maybe something is wrong with the latest fink version. I've been using fink for several months and never had this sort of problem until the latest fink update. Now I've had three occurrences in two days of a "Failed: Internal error: node for XXXX already exists" where XXXX is a package name.
