RE: [Fink-users] KOffice fails to install
One thing to check is whether you have update-alternatives. Here's what I get from dlocate (Ben H's package info tool): % dlocate update-alternatives dpkg: /sw/sbin/update-alternatives dpkg: /sw/share/man/fr/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/ja/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/pt_BR/man8/update-alternatives.8 See if /sw/sbin/update-alternatives is around.

RE: [Fink-users] KOffice fails to install
It looks like you need to reinstall dpkg: the package database thinks you have /sw/sbin/install-info and /sw/sbin/update-alternatives, but they are absent on your system. Alexander K.

RE: [Fink-users] KOffice fails to install
Looks good. Do the which install-info, and if that gives /sw/sbin/install-info, then try to upgrade libtool14 and KDE again. -Original Message- From: Michèle Garoche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2003 10:43 PM To: Alexander K.

I must wait a while to upgrade since I'm currently trying to install koffice, hence kde without ssl support and I'm not sure it would be wise to kill the process like a savage :-) Many, many thanks. I'll give you feedback in a few hours (as soon as the process has terminated).
