[Fink-users] Trouble with new Fink Installation

[Gary Olson]

I upgraded to OS 10.2 on December 9th, so I decided to install a new
fink installation rather than upgrade. I started with a clean disk and installed
jaguar and the developer tools. I used the bootstrap advice and
installed fink 5.01a and performed the fink selfupdate-cvs command. I
then installed some extra packages. I do not remember whether I
installed any binaries or just installed source files from the cvs
repository. Whatever I did, everything went okay.

Then my hard disk crashed, and I had to buy a new hard disk.
Fortunately, I had my old hard disk backed up, so I did not loose any
important files or any of my source code. I reinstalled jaguar and the
developer tools and bootstrapped fink successfully again. Then I tried
to install about 160 binary packages using dselect, and quite a few
were installed successfully. However, about 50 files would not install
due to some files coming before their dependencies. So, I went
through and tried to remove all but the basic files (of the 50 that had
not been installed or configured correctly) upon which all the others
depended. However, I could not remove or purge any of the files in
question with dselect or apt-get!!!

I have several questions:

1) Should I have skipped the binaries and just tried to install the
source files from the stable and unstable trees using fink? The more I
think about it, I wonder if I should not have just used fink and not
dselect and apt-get.

2) Is there any way I can fix this mess? Or should I just erase fink,
X11R6, and X11 and start over again?

Here is a list of the files I could not install or configure:

Errors were encountered while processing:
gawk
wget-ssl
mysql
diffutils
orbit
gconf-shlibs
readline
guile
libtool
gtk+
texinfo
gnuplot
bonobo-shlibs
fileutils
libxml-shlibs
imlib-shlibs
gnome-libs-shlibs
dbd-mysql-pm
vim
gtkglarea
ethereal-ssl

glibwww-shlibs
gnome-core-shlibs
gnome-core
gnome-print-shlibs
scrollkeeper
gdk-pixbuf
glibwww
gnome-print
xchat-ssl

dpkg --configure returned error exit status 1.

Here is what happened when I tried to remove some and install the
others. Same thing happened whether I used dselect or apt-get. I had
similar results even when I put some on hold and just tried to install
a few such as readline.

I don't need a detailed analysis, just some quick advice. I appreciate
any help you can give me. Thank you for your help.
