Agreed, this is not ideal and needs fixing. As a workaround, install just libevent2-shlibs. The problem is literally just the fact that libevent2 and openmpi have a file in common, and libevent2-shlibs doesn't care about that file, so just leave that package installed. I believe libevent2 doesn't contain any runtime files, but openmpi does, so your best bet while this gets sorted out is to keep openmpi installed, and install libevent2 if you happen to be building something against that. Also, if by some chance the event2/buffer.h from openmpi and libevent2 are actually the same (I don't have either installed), then you could use dpkg -i --force-overwrite /sw/fink/debs/<filename> to swap between libevent2 and openmpi. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
