The problem is even worse: It seems to me that "fink reinstall" does not check dependencies at all. It just tells dpkg to do the reinstall, and dpkg then fails in the end when it detects missing dependencies. But at least you get told by dpkg what dependencies are missing, so you can install them by hand first.After all, it worked. So, I moved to a new machine: I copied /sw to the new machine, and performed the same steps as above. The process hangs because gnome-games in its postinstallation script requires the user games.games which does not exist in the new machine yet. Some other package should create it, but this will be alphabetically reinstalled after gnome.
Good question. I don't know how to overcome this.The question is: Is there a more clever way to do it without following by hand all the dependencies? Why the remove and the reinstall options of fink are purely alphabetical instead of following the dependencies?
