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
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 newe

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 t
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/un
There were indeed two copies:
/sw/bin/tar
/usr/bin/tar
so I deleted the /sw/bin/tar and everything seems to be working great
now...
Thanks,
Philip

Any ideas why this is, and more importantly how to fix this so I can upgrade properly?

How do I switch to the unstable builds? I need a more recent version of
imagemagick. Oddly, the version in the stable tree is very out-of-date.

Oops. That's what happens when you're not paying attention.
So I ran this command:

powerpc.deb | awk '{if ($6 == "./") { print "/."; } else if (substr($6,

hat 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,

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 process
arams line in the .info file.
Please let me know if it works, and perhaps I'll add it to the next
revision. I'm afraid because of the patent issues this would be
problematic for the binary distribution.

If I'm configured to use the stable tree, but want to download one

I seem to be having some trouble with Fink. When I try to run
selfupdate, I get the following message (after updating packages):
The following package will be installed or updated:

The following additional package will be installed:

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

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/.

I don't usually ask this type of question, but since the Fink web

any reference to the progress of the .5 release in the list, I

gimp-print would be a great package to support. Gimp-print includes
