[Fink-users] Can't install lyx and xdvi after update-all

[Gary Olson]

I updated my dist, and that solved my problem with Can't download ldp.dsl-1.10 that I posted on 2/15/03. I am not sure why that solved the problem. Possibly there was another file that needed updating?

Since then I got a new version of Gerben Wierda's tetex dist. I removed my other packages dependent on system-tetex as well as system-tetex, and then reinstalled system-tetex (current v. 20010808-9). When I tried to reinstall lyx and xdvi, I could not install them!

Here is fink output:

[Gary-K-Olsons-Computer:~]:-bash:558$: fink install lyx
sudo /sw/bin/fink install lyx
sudo: /var/run/sudo writable by non-owner (040766), should be mode 0700

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:

(1) xdvi: Display TeX .dvi files under the X Window System
(2) tetex-base: Base programs for a teTeX installation

Pick one: [1]
The following package will be installed or updated:
lyx
The following additional package will be installed:
xdvi
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/xdvi_22.71- 3_darwin-powerpc.deb
dpkg: regarding .../xdvi_22.71-3_darwin-powerpc.deb containing xdvi:
xdvi conflicts with system-tetex
system-tetex (version 20010808-9) is installed.
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/xdvi_22.71- 3_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing xdvi
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/xdvi_22.71- 3_darwin-powerpc.deb
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package xdvi-22.71-3

I noticed that the dist now has an xdvi-system-tetex package. So I installed that. Then I tried to install lyx and fink wanted to install xdvi and I got the same messages? How do I get out of this catch22? I don't believe I have done anything that I did not do before in January when I installed fink on Jaguar. I hope someone sees my error. Thanks ahead of time.
