Sorry to bother all you fine folks with probably a trivial problem, but 
I'm having trouble updating a few packages.

Having set up Fink to retrieve from CVS, did a selfupdate and discovered 
that quite a few packages had been "repackaged" so to say, with the 
addition of the shlibs. Most of the packages updated without errors, 
however libxml2 came up with this:

> The following 9 additional packages will be installed:
>  anacron findutils libxml2-bin libxml2-shlibs man python tcltk tcltk-dev
>  tcltk-shlibs
> Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
> Failed: Problem resolving dependencies. Check for circular dependencies.

This was echoed by net-snmp too:

> pkg net-snmp  version ###
> pkg net-snmp  version 5.0-2
>
> fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. 
> The
> candidates:

> man.conf.
> (2)  man: man pager.
>
> Pick one: [1] 2
> The following package will be installed or updated:
>  net-snmp
> The following 5 additional packages will be installed:
>  anacron findutils man tcltk-dev tcltk-shlibs
> Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
> Failed: Problem resolving dependencies. Check for circular dependencies.

I tried to update each and every one of the additional packages, but it 
always returns to the same point and fails due to the circularity.

What can I do in this case ?

Also, in passing, net-snmp has now been updated to version 5.0.1 in its 
home page, which resolves a few problems with 5.0. Fink is lagging 
behind.

Thanks for your help
