I KNOW this has been bandied about before. I just don't seem to be able to find a reference to it in the archives (I get lost everytime...)
What I'm trying to do is just an update-all, after a selfupdate, using Fink Commander under Mac OS X 10.3.2.
It ask for some dependencies to fill, and the following one is the one with the trouble. See below output from FC.-
Unpacking date-manip-pm581 (from .../date-manip-pm581_5.42a-10_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/perlmods/date-manip-pm581_5.42a-10_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/sw/share/man/man3/Date::Manip.3pm', which is also in package date-manip-pm
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/perlmods/date-manip-pm581_5.42a-10_darwin-powerpc.deb
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package date-manip-pm581-5.42a-10
I asked someone at work (over the phone, am at home) to help. He told me to delete the file date-manip-pm581_5.42a-10 from any place in /sw I could find it, and I did. Still get same thing.
I'm not an expert, but a newbie. I like fink as I am fascinated by the stuff made for Unix/Linux. Mostly, I have downloaded games, organizers, WP, SS. Updating fink feels like magic; or at least, it felt like that until this morning, natch.
Please help

Life is a walk in the fog. Most people don't know that. They're fooled by the sunlight into thinking they can see what's ahead. But it's the reason they are forever getting lost or falling into ditches or committing matrimony.
