This is the same scenario I described: In your list of packages, some depend on libsigc++ without restriction on the version number, and some require a version number higher than a given number (gtkmm-1.2.10-2 actually does both in one package: it Depends on libsigc++-shlibs without version and BuildDepends on libsigc++ (>= 1.0.4-3) which in turn Depends on libsigc++-shlibs with the same version). The unspecified version number is set to the one you have installed, and then the constraint cannot be met, because only one version of libsigc++ can be present in the dependency list. You can create this scenario with 4 packages very easily: Have package-a-1-1 installed and package-a-1-2.info prepared but not installed, and try to "fink install package-b package-c", where package-b Depends on "package-a" and package-c Depends on "package-a ( >=1-2 ). This will give you the "Failed: Internal error: node for package-a already exists" error. Of course, if you install package-b and package-c separately, there is no error. The main problem here is the error message. It should be something more comprehensible, like "Fink needs your help: package-c depends on a newer version of package-a than version 1-1 which you have installed. Please update package-a first". Or, of course, fink could just restart itself with package-a prepended to the list of packages to install. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
