[Fink-devel] kill fileutils

2008-05-24 Thread Martin Costabel
As a conclusion from a long thread on fink-users More 'Discoveries' on pwlib1, I suggest to remove the fileutils package from 10.4/stable. It had already been killed once in July 2006 and was reinstated only because the coreutils package that had caused its removal had itself some problems at

[Fink-devel] xfig crash
