I re-ran fink install bundle-kde-ssl
It got past my kbabel problem (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/12339), but fink went on to install gnome-vfs2-ssl-dev, which failed looking for gconftool-2.
I'm curious, why does KDE depend on gnome-vfs2-ssl ? There's no obvious dependency in bundle-kde-ssl.info or any kde*.info. Perhaps it's related to the wv2 MSWord parsing library which depends on libgsf which depends on big chunks of Gnome including gnome-vfs2.
<AKH> Probably a good guess--it's just koffice that depends on wv2, as far as I can tell.
BUG: There may be a dependency error where bundle-kde-ssl thinks it depends on gnome-vfs2-ssl (or gnome-vfs2-ssl-dev, I'm not sure which), but it doesn't know gnome-vfs2-ssl depends on gconf2.
It sounds like someone else had the same problem with gnome-vfs2-dev. In message "updating gnome-vfs2-dev failed" http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ msg13299.html "Martin Costabel" surmised:
This looks like a bug in the fink dependency engine, because gconf2 is
in the dependency list of gnome-vfs2, so it should have been installed
before gnome-vfs2-dev started to build.
To work around the problem I ran `fink install gnome-vfs2-ssl` which created /sw/bin/gconftool-2.
Details below. I hope this is useful.
In building /sw/src/gnome-vfs2-ssl-2.4.2-7 :
bzip2 -dc /sw/src/gnome-vfs-2.4.2.tar.bz2
...
configure: error: gconftool-2 executable not found in your path - should be installed with GConf
### execution of failed, exit code 1
Failed: compiling gnome-vfs2-ssl-2.4.2-7 failed
I don't believe I have any Gnome tools built. I do have various files for gconf in /sw:
/sw/include/gconf
/sw/include/gconf/2/gconf
...
/sw/lib/pkgconfig/gconf-2.0.pc
/sw/share/aclocal/gconf-2.m4
etc.
but no gconftool-2.
I ran `fink install gnome-vfs2 separately:
The following 2 additional packages will be installed:
gconf2 gnome-vfs2-ssl-shlibs
...
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/ gconf2_2.4.0.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
Selecting previously deselected package gconf2.
(Reading database ... 77193 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gconf2 (from .../gconf2_2.4.0.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
Setting up gconf2 (2.4.0.1-2) ...
...
and fink created the missing binary /sw/bin/gconftool-2. This definitely wasn't present before.
QUESTION: Is there any log that records what dependent packages fink tried to install during a `fink install`
<AKH> No, but you can make one. The easy way to do this is to open a new OSX terminal window, set the scrollback to unlimited lines, and then do the "fink install". After it's done you can save the terminal output to a file. You could also do it with pipes, redirects, and tees from the command line.
