Hello,
BEFORE I had fink I installed the expat module WITHOUT
modifications to the source. I then tried unistalling
it because it told me that there was a bunch of stuff
wrong when I ran the pakage manager.

Since there have been 2 thank-yous recently, I'll add my own.
Thanks to the Fink team, for making this possible. I love the concept
and appreciate all the work that each person puts into it (because the
Fink project is visibly a tremendous effort).
Whenever possible I recommend Fink, and I als

someone on the Pan mailing list suggested I use GDK_USE_XFT 0

Also you can delete everything in /sw/src , same idea.
"fink cleanup" does some of this for you, but only deletes obsolete
debs.

is it normal that when I try to install pureftpd with fink, it wants to
also install 21 other packages as dependencies including xwindows and
python that are clearly not really necessary for an ftp daemon.

Hi all,
I've been lurking for some time now, but I installed Fink months ago and
am just now getting around to using it. Reading posts on the list about
various problems and their solutions has been a tremendous help in

True. But this is another reason *not* to install emacs from fink. OSX

I'm out of ideas, myself--it's a shame dpkg can't just be told to forget
about the old package and skip running the prerm script. You might try
renaming /sw to something else before starting over,if you have the space,
so that you can install packages from your existing deb files (with dpkg).

The name wasn't quite right. Once corrected I get:
[powerbook:/usr/local] rskoss# dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/sw/
Ugh!
One last notion: try
dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/editors/emacsen-common-1.4.13-2
and see if an overwrite will work.

I'd guess that you can't do the reinstall because your old deb has been

Didn't work. I tried to reinstall, as the error messages indicated, and that
didn't work either. I seem to have a real mess here. Errors follow:
[powerbook:/usr/local] rskoss# fink remove
Your understanding is absolutely correct. The only reason to have them
around is to save time if you uninstall a package and later want
to reinstall it.
