<p>Some packages that need <code>gettext</code> headers to build have
been updated to use <code>libgettext3-dev</code> and some still use
<code>gettext-dev</code>. Consequently, Fink may try to switch to whichever
one isn't currently installed in order to satisfy a build dependency for some
package that you're trying to update. In addition, the <code>fink </code>tool
treats <code>gettext-dev</code> as essential, and will install it any time you
selfupdate.</p>
<p>Similar behavior can happen for other pairs of packages, too. </p>
- <p>Unfortunately, due to limitations in the build-dependency engine,
you may find that your build bombs because you've swapped in one of these but
some later package in your build chain wants the other one. You can proceed by
repeating your update command again.</p>

+<p>In extreme cases you may wind up having to install those packages which
build-depend on <code>gettext-dev</code> separately from those which want
<code>libgettext3-dev</code> (or whichever pair are causing problems). You may
even have to install packages one by one.</p>
<p>A permanent fix should hopefully be available in
<code>fink-0.24.9</code>.</p>
