Sorry there's a lack of informations in your mail. I cannot figure out which Mac OS X you are running and therefore I can only give some general hints on how to solve your problem. A short look in the fink package database on the fink website tells me that libglade2-shlibs-2.0.1-13 is avaible in the unstable tree so first guessing would be that you donnot have the unstable tree in your fink.conf. To verify this take look at fink.conf, it's in /sw/etc, there in the tree line you should find something like this "unstable/main unstable/crypto" telling fink to use the unstable tree. Next would be to take a look at the faq points 4.7 and 4.8 <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#bindist>. And maybe it is better to delete the info file too, cause fink fetches newer ones or missing ones during a selfupdate. BTW How did you clean up? Did you use the dpkg and fink commands or did you do it by hand with the rm command. The latter option perhaps may cause the problem since it doesn't tell fink that a package was removed as the first two do. So try to use the fink commands and see what you can rescue with them. What also may help is to use apt-get and the force option to install at least earlier versions of your packages and then rerun the fink selfupdate etc process to get the latest versions. More informations about apt-get force are found here <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#also_in> Regards, Eric Hoch -- ## Ansprechpartner Anwenderunterstützung, users-Mailingliste ## War unsere Hilfe erfolgreich?
