Ouch, this isn't good. libgnomeui2-dev.list is a C header file, not a
file listing. A sample:
----------------------------------------------------------------
/* -*- Mode: C; tab-width: 8; indent-tabs-mode: t; c-basic-offset: 8 -*- */
/*
* A client-side GtkObject which exposes the
* Evolution:BookListener interface.
*
* Author:

*/
#ifndef __E_BOOK_TYPES_H__
#define __E_BOOK_TYPES_H__
#include <libgnome/gnome-defs.h>
----------------------------------------------------------------
How that happened is beyond me.
Would it be sufficient to recreate this list by running something like:
$ dpkg-deb -c /sw/fink/debs/libgnomeui2-dev_2.0.6-2_darwin-powerpc.deb >
/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgnomeui2-dev.list
Or is there a more elegant/proper solution?
Thanks!
