I just discovered the Aug 2003 SDK update, so I installed it and switched fink to point to unstable. Now I am trying to update fink and am runing into the problem
I tried installing xfree86-base-dev (Placeholder for X11 dev packages, v. 4.2) but it requires xfree86-base-shlibs which is not a placeholder so I get the following message: >You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11. >This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to >install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) Trying to update a package, such as xmahjongg, asks me to pick an alternative for satisfying a virtual dependnecy. I select xfree86-base-dev and it requires xfree85-base-shlibs, and we start the cycle over again. My output from fink-x11-debug is as follows: >Isidore-cckborg $ fink-x11-debug >OS X version: 10.2.8 >Darwin version: 6.8 >fink package manager version: 0.19.1 >Fink distribution version: 0.6.2.cvs >Fink updated from: cvs > >Checking fink-installed xfree86 packages: >Found system-xfree86 > >X11 version installed: 4.2 >Fink xfree86 packages found, therefore no virtual packages > >Here is the situation from dpkg: > >Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold >| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed >|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) >||/ Name Version Description >+++-==========================-==========================-==================================================================== >ii system-xfree86 4.2-13 Placeholder package for >manually installed XFree86 > >Finished at ./fink-x11-debug line 73. The documentation and FAQ don't seem to have caught up yet with the disappearance of system-xfree86 for 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3. I couldn't find anything to expain what was going on with system-xfree86/xfree86-base-dev. Also, how do I choose between xfree86-base-dev and xfree86-base-threaded-dev? Reinstalling Apple's X11 is not an option because I deleted the beta3 installer. Any help would be appreciated.
