Try this:

1.  Be sure "unstable" is activated in /sw/etc/fink.conf

2.  fink selfupdate
3.  fink update-all

If it is still whining, try

fink  rebuild  foo ; fink reinstall foo

for any package foo that seems problematic.

I have no idea why, but this has helped others in the past. I don't understand the origin of the problem.

Dear all,

I have been trying to install Coot through Fink. I have been following the instructions on
William Scott's OS X Scientific Computing webpage:
% sudo apt-get install coot

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
coot: Depends: librsvg2-shlibs (>= 2.20.0-1) but 2.9.5-11 is to be installed Depends: librsvg2-gtk (>= 2.20.0-1) but 2.9.5-11 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

I've noticed the packages I have do not correspond to the versions needed:

fink list librsvg*
Scanning package description files..........
Information about 2531 packages read in 0 seconds.
i librsvg2 2.9.5-11 SAX-based render library for SVG files librsvg2-bin 2.9.5-11 SAX-based render library for SVG files
i   librsvg2-gtk     2.9.5-11     Enable GTK to use SVG data
i librsvg2-shlibs 2.9.5-11 SAX-based render library for SVG files

I have configured fink to install unstable packages and apparently it indexes the unstable
sources:
% fink selfupdate; fink index; fink scanpackages
(...)
Hit http://sage.ucsc.edu unstable/crypto Packages
Hit http://sage.ucsc.edu unstable/crypto Release

However, when I try to reinstall the librsvg2 I still get the same version...

% fink --trees=unstable reinstall librsvg2

Any help you can give me will be very much appreciated!
