Ok, I have another question. I wanted to see what would be updated if I did an update-all, so I did one while not on the internet (knowing it would attempt to d/l stuff and so nothing would actually happen.) This is what I got:
pleonasm,[~],2:59pm:fink update-all sudo /sw/bin/fink update-all Reading package info... Information about 435 packages read in 15 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) python: Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented language. (2) python-nox: Interpreted, object-oriented prog. language, no X11 support Pick one: [1] 1 fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) gnome-vfs: The GNOME virtual file-system libraries (2) gnome-vfs-ssl: The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, with SSL support Pick one: [1] 1 The following 31 packages will be installed or updated: app-defaults audiofile dlcompat esound freeciv freetype2 fvwm-common fvwm2-no-gnome gdbm gdk-pixbuf ghostscript-fonts gimp gnome-libs gtk+ gv hyperref libpng libstroke libtiff libxml2 netpbm pdftex pwm readline tetex-base transfig x-ghostscript-fonts xchat xemacs-sumo-pkg xfree86-base zlib The following 45 additional packages will be installed: aalib aalib-bin aalib-shlibs audiofile-bin audiofile-shlibs bonobo control-center db3 db3-shlibs esound-bin esound-common esound-shlibs expat freetype2-shlibs gal19 gal19-shlibs gconf gdbm-shlibs gdk-pixbuf-shlibs glibwww gmp gmp-shlibs gnome-core gnome-print gnome-vfs gtkhtml guile libglade libmpeg libmpeg-shlibs libpng-shlibs libstroke-shlibs libtiff-bin libtiff-shlibs libxml manconf netpbm-bin netpbm-shlibs oaf popt python readline-shlibs scrollkeeper tcltk xfontpath Do you want to continue? [Y/n]n That seems like a lot of 'additional packages' to me. What's going on? Are some of the new packages just old packages being broken up into -shlibs and -bin subpackages? For example are "gnome-core gnome-print gnome-vfs" all just "gnome-libs" ? Also I only see an xfree86-base update and nothing to indicate the new rootless server replacing my old rooted server. Will I have to do a fink remove xfree86-server and then fink install xfree86-rootless to get the new server? - Nicholas Robbins _______________________________________________________ "A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep." -W.H.
