Dear Francis et al:
I just encountered the same problem setting up a laptop.
There were a couple of things causing this problem:
1. After using the binary installer, I had to change it to use the
unstable branch of fink, and then use
fink selfupdate-cvs
to change it from point release updates to continuously available ones.
2. To get it to build anything missing or overlooked from my binary
distribution, but to use everything available,
fink -b install coot
I hope this is of use to someone in the future.
Sorry for this being problematic.
Bill

When I had to deal with this, I think it was the problematic package
was gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs.
You are providing librsvg2 2.20.0-1 . The problem is that that this
requires gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs (>= 1:2.20.0-1) . The latest
binary distribution on fink is 2.9.5-11. You don't provide gnome-
vfs2-unified-shlibs on sage.ucsc.edu/fink_ppc/unstable/main/binary-
darwin-powerpc/gnome/ so fink reverts to the binary distribution on
their main servers which doesn't fulfill the requirement.
Interestingly, apt-get install librsvg2-shlibs complains about gnome-
vfs2-unified-shlibs. ( At least if I recall correctly when I had
this problem )
The solution might be to provide gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs @
2.20.0-1 (including its dependencies) on sage.ucsc.edu.
Maybe this helps?
Cheers
FR
P.s. thanks for providing the binary distributions btw. Saves me a
lot of compile time and disk space our lab doesn't have :)

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*

I have configured fink to install unstable packages and apparently
it indexes the unstable
sources:
% fink selfupdate; fink index; fink scanpackages
(...)

However, when I try to reinstall the librsvg2 I still get the same
version...
% fink --trees=unstable reinstall librsvg2
