Just a question to fink crew: Why keep the not working package in stable and the working one in the unstable tree?? Respect Andrea Are there any problems with moving 1.2.8-1 from unstable to replace 1.2.7-13 that is there now? I checked that all depends are in stable, and all are (except virtual package libgl). The maintainer hasn't been around himself for a while, so if no problems, I will move it. Heck, I'm moving it now, since the one there's broken. Any problems, let me know. James

IMHO yes. Since system-tetex "Provides" tetex-base, you don't need to mention it there. The dependency on tetex-base will be fulfilled by system-tetex as well. I believe that the alternative makes that system-tetex, when it is installed, will appear twice on the list of dependencies, thus giving the error you are seeing. I haven't verified this, though.

Re: [Fink-devel] System-tetex and error node.
If your link line has "-lkpathsea", then a user who has tetex-dev installed will get a link to libkpathsea.dylib, whereas a user with system-tetex installed will get a link to libkpathsea.a . (The darwin linker prefers the shared version whenever it can find it.) -- Dave --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Hmm, the static lib is also in tetex-dev, so you would need this BuildDepends in any case. But the alternative BuildDepends: tetex-dev | system-tetex is still problematic, because you don't then know whether the dylib exists or not, so you don't know how your package will look like, unless you force the static linking. -- Martin --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Re: [Fink-devel] System-tetex and error node.
Uhm... I'm getting a little bit confused here. Linking the kpathsea library is exactly what I do with PyX, I don't have tetex-dev installed (only system-tetex) and I've not seen any problem during compiling and installing process. Could you explain this a little further? Thanks, Andrea. On 23 Feb 2004, at 15:02, David R. Morrison wrote: Martin, It is not an omission that system-tetex does not provide tetex-dev.

[Fink-devel] System-tetex and error node.
Hi, I've a problem with system-tetex. I'm the maintainer of pyx-py* packages and it happens quite often to reinstall this packages (to update them). Every time I try to do it I get the following error message: /usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install pyx-py23 Information about 2804 packages read in 2 seconds. Failed: Internal error: node for system-tetex already exists As suggested by Alexander Hansen some time ago I tried to remove system-tetex and reinstall it as dependency, but next time I try to reinstall pyx the problem is still there. Then I tried to remove all the installed packages that depends on system-tetex, system-tetex, all the .deb files and I reinstalled system-tetex as dependency (of pyx). None of these methods worked, when I try to update pyx I get the same error-message. At this point I can't understand if the problem is related to my package or to system-tetex. Furthermore some pyx's users reported to me the same issue, so I can exclude that the problem could be related to my fink installation. Hoping that someone can enlight me here are the meaningful lines of my package .info file: Package: pyx-py23 Version: 0.5.1 Revision: 1 Depends: python23|python23-nox, tetex-base | system-tetex, ghostscript | ghostscript-nox | system-ghostscript BuildDepends: tetex-dev | system-tetex Can anyone suggest a fix for this issue?
