dpkg --remove --force-depends gnome-vfs-ssl was the only way I could get fink to go all the way thru because even with trying to update gnome-vfs-ssl fink tries to satisfy the dependency with gnome-mime-data which won't install because the version check fails on gnome-vfs-ssl. When I force removed the gnome-vfs-ssl then then installed gnome-vfs-ssl, the problem did NOT occur.
Thanks for all the help,
Brandon Potter

Maybe you could try following this advice, i.e.

Or else, dpkg --remove --force-depends gnome-vfs-ssl.
This should break out of the catch-22 situation, too.
Any ideas? Is this simply a bug - for the package maintainer to fix?
I would assume so, yes.
Martin you posted this a month ago (below). :) The fix (supposedly?) is to update "gnome-vfs-ssl" first. or, "gnome-vfs" if you have that one.
"fink update gnome-vfs-ssl"
This really should be fixed in the package if possible. Or we need to fix fink to update packages in the correct order somehow.
Will this problem affect *everyone* when this stuff is moved to stable and with the next bindist?

If you first update gnome-vfs (to version 1.0.5-4), there shouldn't be
any conflict any more.
