I would consider this rather serious, in particular when it can happen out of the blue sky, just because some library is temporarily not what or where it is supposed to be. -- Martin --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

Of course someone who tests a new version of cp will be careful not to use it deliberately for crucial tasks, but as Matthew's accident showed, a sloppily written script such as gcc_select can kill your development environment behind your back. -- Martin --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

[Fink-devel] fileutils missing dep on libgettext3-shlibs kills /usr/bin/gcc
fileutils is missing a depend on libgettext3-shlibs (it has a builddepend on libgettext3-dev.) This can lead to particularly disastrous results if you remove libgettext3-shlibs with fileutils installed and then run gcc_select (which gets run automatically when you try to build something due to the Repair Permissions issue.) An excerpt from my latest build: ... cdk-4.9.10/cli/cli.make cdk-4.9.10/cli/Makefile cdk-4.9.10/config.status cdk-4.9.10/cdk-4.9.10.lsm dyld: Library not loaded: /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/lib/libintl.3.dylib Referenced from: /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/bin/mkdir Reason: image not found /usr/sbin/gcc_select: line 645: 1350 Trace/BPT trap $dashn mkdir -p $usr/bin dyld: Library not loaded: /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/lib/libintl.3.dylib Referenced from: /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/bin/ln Reason: image not found /usr/sbin/gcc_select: line 645: 1358 Trace/BPT trap $dashn ln -sf gcc$switchto_cc_driver $usr/bin/cc ... And then it was like beep beep beep and my /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/ cc were gone. Probably because fileutils lays down /sw/bin/ln but not /sw/bin/rm, so gcc_select's rm works but its ln fails. Removing fileutils and recreating the gcc and cc symlinks gets things working enough to run gcc_select. --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
