A slightly smoother way might be to make sure /sw/etc/apt/sources.list is pointed to your local distribution in /sw/fink/dist, and runEnrico Franconi wrote: []I don't know of an existing command that would do "fink --reinstall-all", but you can certainly construct something like the following command line (not tested!)Another would be postgres, which creates new users etc. Would it work -- after having copied the /sw directory -- if somehow I uninstall all the packages and then I reinstall them? In this way I would be guaranteed that all postinstallations will be done. If yes, the question now is: Is there a command which makes already the above?
fink list -i -w 180 | awk '{ print $2 }' | grep -v about | xargs fink reinstall
dpkg --get-selections > packages.list
before uninstalling the packages, then run
dpkg --set-selections < packages.list
from that file, and launch dselect. This should set your default selections (the packages that are already checked for installation under the "select" menu in dselect) to your original setup. This would involve deinstallation of all the packages, unlike Martin's suggestion, which only uninstalls one at a time, but otoh, in my experience dpkg and apt-get handle dependency conflicts much better than fink itself.
