hi, I have following problem: I have installed and I am using as my standard MUA sylpheed from fink. This one depends (around some corners) on giflib-shlibs. xfce-taskbar also. So far so good. Now I need to work with gimp2, which in all available source versions seems to depend on libungif-shlibs. The error below shows, that both can't go together. So my solution was to replace xfce-taskbar with ion (a _very_ smooth minimalistic wm). But the problems resists because of the need of both: sylpheed _and_ gimp2. Is there a solution to change dependencies to a working model of all these packages together? or do both (libungif|giflib)-shlibs maybe contain similar files, so that it should be possible to fake the installed lib and the app feels regardless happy to work? maybe I'm thinking in wrong direction ..
thanx for helping! and thanx for fink ; ) (ps/ I do most fink operations with fink commander, because of not wanting to mess around with apt-get, dselect or dpkg) regards, alexander klosch dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/graphics/giflib-shli bs_4.1.0-8_darwin-powerpc.deb dpkg: considering removing libungif-shlibs in favour of giflib-shlibs dpkg: no, cannot remove libungif-shlibs (--auto-deconfigure will help) giflib-bin depends on giflib-shlibs (= 4.1.0-7) | libungif-shlibs (>= 4.1.0final-1) giflib-shlibs is to be installed, but is version 4.1.0-8. libungif-shlibs is to be removed. dpkg: regarding.../giflib-shlibs_4.1.0-8_darwin-powerpc.deb containing giflib-shlibs: giflib-shlibs conflicts with libungif-shlibs libungif-shlibs (version 4.1.0final-2) is installed. dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/graphics/g iflib-shli bs_4.1.0-8_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing giflib-shlibs Errors were encountered while processing:\ /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/graphics/giflib-shli bs_4.1.0-8_darwin-powerpc.deb ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package giflib-shlibs-4.1.0-8 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
