It shouldn't. The problem is in what fink is detecting as your X11 setup, and the descriptions of other packages don't matter. That, and you should be getting the same package descriptions via rsync or cvs (apart from the longer lag for them to reach the rsync mirrors). problem persists, and I do have the > directory /usr/X11 so that's not the problem at least... it's not an > empty directory either.

Run "fink-virtual-pkgs --debug" and go to the location in the output where it talks about X11 detection. That'll start with something like - - checking for library libX11.6.dylib... found in /usr/X11R6/lib We can see what's missing from that. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison > Eric wrote: >> I have a problem that seems to be affecting many of my attempts to >> install packages, directly and indirectly. >> The stats I can figure out how to obtain (I don't know my version of >> xQuartz, I'm afraid)- >> Mac OS X 10.6.1 i386 (upgraded from a 10.4.11 machine) >> Package manager version: 0.29.9 >> Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Mon Sep 28 09:18:53 2009, > 10.6, i386 > >> The error is always some version of, something very like -- >> --- >> ./fink install xv >> Scanning package description files.......... >> Information about 2953 packages read in 1 seconds. >> Can't resolve dependency "x11" for package "xv-3.10a-25" (no matching >> packages/versions found) >> Exiting with failure. >> --- > >> Did I accidentally purge x11 and is it easy to get it back?
