I just updated octave-3.8.2 and octave-3.6.4 to allow the use of an appropriate 
version of fig2dev.  A selfupdate should make that available to you soon.

"dpkg -S /sw/bin/fig2dev”  will tell you where it came from.

Hanspeter’s change doesn’t affect the fact that the Octave packing does not yet 
recognize the fig2dev package as an acceptable choice.  That’ll have to happen 
as well.

If you want to try that locally, edit 
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/octave-3.8.2.info and change 
"transfig-graphicx | transfig-epsfig,” to “fig2dev | transfig-graphicx | 
transfig-epsfig,” in the RuntimeDepends: line.  Then use “fink rebuild” to 
rebuild your preferred Octave variant with the new dependency option.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Problem installing xfig

[Mike Wilkes]

Thank you, Hanspeter. I had removed octave in order to install xfig because of 
the conflict between fig2dev and transfig. (I then found that there is an X11 
problem running the new xfig.)  After receiving your email, I decided to 
reinstall octave. During the reinstall, xfig was removed. Octave installed just 
fine, with transfig-graphicx. I then tried to install xfig again, but the error 
conflict of fig2dev with transfig-graphicx appears to still be there:

The fig2dev package now builds the transfig program. This should now be 
fully replaceable against the old transfig-* packages (assuming upstream 
didn't break change the functionality between releases).

(CC’ing the listed fig2dev maintainer)

My understanding is that fig2dev has replaced transfig for xfig-3.2.6.  It 
doesn’t build a “transfig” executable by default, though.  I just updated 
transfig* to conflict properly with fig2dev.  

For right now, you won’t be able to have fig2dev + xfig and transfig-graphicx + 
octave* installed simultaneously.   If Octave will get along with fig2dev 
(which might require enabling the legacy transfig executable in the fig2dev 
build) then we can get rid of this problem.

Sorry about the hitch there.

I recently installed Octave, which required package transfig-graphicx, as I

dunno.  Thanks for your help.
