[Fink-users] update-all failing, please help
I haven't used Fink in a bit and am trying to get things working again so I can update some packages I use. When I run update-all through fink commander, I get the following response: The following 9 packages will be installed or updated: ghostscript ghostscript-fonts imagemagick-nox lcms-shlibs libpng3-shlibs libtiff-shlibs libxml2-shlibs storable-pm xfree86-shlibs The following 11 additional packages will be installed: gcc3.1 imagemagick-nox-shlibs lcms libjpeg libjpeg-bin libpng3 libtiff libtiff-bin libxml2 libxml2-bin pkgconfig Do you want to continue?

[Fink-users] Not sure what's wrong here...
I haven't been able to install anything using Fink in a long time. I don't know what's wrong. For example, if I try to do a binary update of curl (even though my binary is up to date) I get the following sequence: Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Sorry, curl is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives.

Re: [Fink-users] problems compiling anything
Martin, Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been sick. I promise to stick around. Some info on my configuration. I am using FinkCommander most of the time. I am configured to use unstable packages. I am running on a PM G4 800DP. I couldn't reinstall the binary of cctools-extra because I already have the latest version of it and it tells me that. Can I remove it and then re-install the binary? Will removing it do anything bad? I tried compiling the newer version and I get the same error message: Writing dependencies... Writing package script postinst... dpkg-deb -b root-cctools-extra-495-1 /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base ### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code 10 Failed: can't create package cctools-extra_495-1_darwin-powerpc.deb Ok, so now I checked the path and ran the command to fix the prebinding... I tried compiling cctools-extra and bingo, it worked! Thanks. I guess I don't have to stick around too long... :-) Now I'm updating all the outdated base files... Hmmm. Mayhap I spoke too soon. Maybe I shouldn't have selected like ten different packages to update at once. Anyways, it just bailed with the following error message: /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/bits/basic_string.h:591: error: `__pos2' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/bits/basic_string.h:591: confused by earlier errors, bailing out make[2]: *** [/sw/src/apt-0.5.4-36/apt-0.5.4/obj/apt-pkg/acquire-worker.opic] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 ### execution of failed, exit code 2 Failed: compiling apt-0.5.4-36 failed I guess it's good that it's a different error message? :-) Okay, I tried compiling just the update to tar and got this message at the end: checking for dcgettext... *** malloc[13944]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x803600; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug ./configure: line 11094: cannot create temp file for here document: No such file or directory no checking for msgfmt... /sw/bin/msgfmt checking for gmsgfmt... /sw/bin/msgfmt checking for xgettext... /sw/bin/xgettext checking for bison... bison checking version of bison... 1.28, ok checking for catalogs to be installed... cs da de es et fr id it ja ko nl no pl pt pt_BR ru sl sv tr configure: creating ./config.status ./configure: line 11923: cannot create temp file for here document: File name too long sed: /tmp/csHb0eMG/subs.sed: No such file or directory ./config.status: line 295: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' ./config.status: line 295: `fi # test -n $CONFIG_FILES' ### execution of ./configure failed, exit code 1 Failed: compiling tar-1.13.25-12 failed Then to get another data point I tried updating dlcompat and it worked fine. Same thing for expat, expat-shlibs, curl and curl-shlibs. Although oddly when I compiled curl, my table only showed packages up to blt-shlibs. A little weird. This is in FinkCommander. I tried a few things, and finally 'Update Descriptions' in FinkCommander worked to restore them. For good measure I decided to try to compile apt again (since it was the one that failed before) and it seemed to actually work. Go figure. Of course, murphy's law always being present, FinkCommander proceeded to crash while it was updating the table data. No big deal I guess. I re-loaded FinkCommander and everything seemed fine. Apt was updated. I hope this e-mail has been helpful. Thanks, Philip p.s. To the author of FinkCommander - maybe you should add a menu item that fixes the prebindings using the command below? And it would be really cool if FinkCommander could see the error message and suggest running the command as well - or perhaps Fink could detect this and fix itself?

There have been several reports about this, but in almost all cases, the people who complained about it either disappeared into thin air or did not tell what they did to solve the problem. This forces us all to relive the same story over and over again. Reading the list archives will not help, either, because only the problem will be found but not its solution. Let me begin with the latest case that has come up. Apparently there the problem was caused by an outdated or incomplete installation of the cctools-extra package. Rebuilding this solved the problem (although I don't know how he rebuilt it without dpkg-deb crashing again). Please try this first
[Fink-users] problems compiling anything
I seem to have messed up something along the way and now I can't seem to install anything. It appears to be a problem with dpkg, but I don't know enough about how it works to fix it. If someone could help me I would be appreciative. An example: dpkg-deb -b root-base-files-1.9.0-1 /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base ### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code 10 Failed: can't create package base-files_1.9.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb This was from running an update-all, but whenever I try to ugrade any package I get a similar response at the end.

[Fink-users] newline error
I think this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything in the archives. I can't build any packages using fink. I get error message like this: dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): files list file for package `m4' is missing final newline Errors were encountered while processing: ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package debianutils-1.23-1 /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/debianutils_1.23-1_darwin-powerpc.deb Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

Re: [Fink-users] newline error
Okay, good timing.
I checked the integrity of
/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/m4_1.4-6_darwin-
powerpc.deb
and it seemed okay (it showed a directory as you described).
I then ran this command:
dpkg -c
/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/m4_1.4-6_darwin-
powerpc.deb | awk '{if ($6 == ./) { print /.; } else if (substr($6,
length($6), 1) == /) {print substr($6, 2, length($6) - 2); } else {
print substr($6, 2, length($6) - 1);}}'
/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.list
Which seemed to be what you were saying should be done. However, it
didn't do anything, or at least it didn't seem like it did anything -
it just showed the command prompt. When I tried to do an update-all I
ran into the same problem as before.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Philip Trauring

[Fink-users] can't get fink working with 10.2...
I have never been able to get Fink working properly with 10.2. When I try to update packages, it updates the 10.2 tree, but when it gets to 10.2, it fails. I'm not clear on why it's still updating 10.1 anyways. I'm fairly certain I followed the upgrade instructions to the letter. Here's what it looks like: ... cvs server: Updating 10.1/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11 cvs server: Updating 10.1/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system cvs server: Updating 10.1/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm cvs server: Updating 10.2 cvs update: in directory 10.2/stable: cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable cvs update: cannot write 10.2/stable/.cvsignore: Permission denied cvs update: in directory 10.2/stable/crypto: cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/crypto cvs update: cannot write 10.2/stable/crypto/.cvsignore: Permission denied cvs [update aborted]: cannot make directory 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo: No such file or directory ### execution of su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above. If someone has a quick fix, that would be great. If not, can someone direct me to instructions for removing Fink so I can do a clean install?

Re: [Fink-users] can't get fink working with 10.2...
This worked, thanks. Once I did did this I ran 'fink index' and now I
seem to have everything operating normally. I'm happily back in the
Fink world...

First check and see whether /sw/fink/dists exists and is a symbolic link
to /sw/fink/10.2 . If so, then you can clean things up as follows
(courtesy of Ben H):
sudo find /sw/fink -name 'CVS' -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
fink selfupdate-cvs
If that doesn't do the job, the fink clean uninstall instructions are in
the FAQ at:

[Fink-users] convert is part of imagemagick, which is available in fink
The convert you refer to is part of imagemagick (convert, mogrify, animate, conjure, display, identify, import and montage). You will find that imagemagick is included in the fink packages. For more information on imagemagick, see their website at http://www.imagemagick.org/.

[Fink-users] Roughly when will Fink 0.5 be released?
I don't usually ask this type of question, but since the Fink web site said October was the target release date and I haven't noticed any reference to the progress of the .5 release in the list, I figured I'd ask. When is Fink 0.5 expected to be released now? I've held up upgrading Fink since I upgraded to Jaguar, to insure a solid stable release, but it's been a long time and I miss being able to install and update unix tools (several of which I use regularly).

[Fink-users] Support for gimp-print?
I did a search on the web site for gimp-print but did not see it as a supported package. Now that MacOS X 10.2 supports CUPS, it seems like gimp-print would be a great package to support. Gimp-print includes CUPS drivers for many inkjet printers that are not currently supported for OS X by their manufacturers. The printers supported: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php3 Just curious.
