It looks to me like you have a status file that got damaged. Edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status as the superuser and look for automake1.9. Change its entry to read "not-installed" instead of "installed", if that is indeed the case, and then you will be able to install automake1.9 afterward. -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
