"passwd" has been replaced by the combination of "passwd-core" and separate passwd-plugin packages, so my instructions below should 1) remove the old passwd and replace it with the passwd-core and passwd-avahi. 2) install appropriate new passwd-plugin packages for any packages that wanted just "passwd" on 10.6 > On Dec 8, 2011, at 9:36 AM, Alexander Hansen wrote: > > On 12/8/11 10:33 AM, Jeremy Murray wrote: >>>> I am having issues with the avahi package that is preventing me >>>> updating other packages: >>>> >>>> ~> fink update avahi Information about 4052 packages read in 0 >>>> seconds.
