Hello all, The installation of wxmaxima-mac is failing on one of my systems. Here's the error text:
sudo fink reinstall wxmaxima-mac Information about 9367 packages read in 1 seconds.

I've even tried deleting the file that gets left sitting around, the symlink at /Applications/Fink/wxMaxima.app. The current status of the package is: Status: install reinstreq half-configured The output of fink --version is: Package manager version: 0.39.3 Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Thu Jun 9 21:12:45 2016, 10.10, x86_64 Trees: local/main stable/main I think the origin of this problem lies in the fact that when software against which I build gets updated (eg XCode, X11), I delete the entire /sw/ tree and start from scratch. The problem is that I forget to delete /Applications/Fink, too, and that causes an install failure for wxmaxima-mac. On another system, I was able to delete the detritus in /Applications/, and the install worked fine. I'm not sure why that step is failing on this other machine.
