[Fink-devel] Cannot install ucblogo
Hi, I have a problem installing the package ucblogo. The build works fine, but when trying to fink (re)install it, I get an error message: Information about 8086 packages read in 1 seconds. The following package will be reinstalled: ucblogo Reading buildlock packages... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/languages/ucblogo_5.5-2_darwin-i386.deb (Reading database ... dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `sbcl' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. 178505 files and directories currently installed.)

Hello, William. It looks like the documentation file provided by the
developers of ucblogo (ucblogo.info) doesn't have the necessary INFO-
DIR-SECTION and {START, END}-INFO-DIR-ENTRY fields. Since this
particular package is maintained by Matthias Neeracher, so I'm CC'ing
this reply to him. As package maintainers are ultimately responsible
for their packages, we recommend users to send bug reports to both the
maintainer and one of the {fink-users, fink-beginners} mailing lists.
In order to find out who is the maintainer of a given package, run the
fink info command, as in
fink info ucblogo
None fink-devel... is a particular case. It means that the package
doesn't have a maintainer, so it usually suffices to send an e-mail to
the fink-devel address alone.
Cheers,

Re: [Fink-devel] Cannot install ucblogo
We (most likely Jean-François, from the commit logs) cleverly post-process the
malformed .info files once the have been compiled. Even more cleverly,
SnowLeopard's makeinfo apparently gzips the generated files, so there's nothing
to find and patch anymore.
Should be easy enough to fix, thanks for the report.
