After I upgraded, fink scribus-aqua no longer worked, so I uninstalled and tried to re-install: imac:~ eric$ fink install scribus-aqua Password: Information about 6227 packages read in 1 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) ghostscript: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF (2) ghostscript-esp: Enhanced GNU Ghostscript with better CJK and printer support (3) ghostscript6: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01 Pick one: [1] 1 Can't resolve dependency "system-xfree86-dev (>= 2:7.2-1)" for package "fontconfig2-dev-2.4.1-5" (no matching packages/versions found) Exiting with failure. It sounds like it's a fink package availability problem, but the scribus-aqua package worked great for me on Tiger. When I list my installed fink packages, I can see that my version of system-xfree86- dev is lower than the install wants. imac:~ eric$ fink list -i Information about 6227 packages read in 9 seconds. . . . i system-xfree86 2:1.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11] i system-xfree86-dev 2:1.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools] i system-xfree86-manu... 2:1.3-2 Manually installed X11 components i system-xfree86-shlibs 2:1.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 shared libraries] . . . After I upgraded and my scribus-aqua (and GIMP and Inkscape) didn't work, I started fiddling with things, and installed some updated X11 libraries from Ben Byer. Did I maybe mess something up from the fink perspective? I do notice now that there is a new Apple-distributed version of X11 for Leopard. I'll have to try that out, too. Thanks! Eric
