Forgive me for being dense, but running
fink selfupdate fink update-all fink choked during the update all on system-tetex. It put up the notice in the middle of this process (choking, that is) WARNING: If you are upgrading system-tetex, you may need to remove other TeX-related packages such as latex2html and dvipdfm before upgrading. After the upgrade, you can reinstall those packages. My question is, if fink already *knows* this, then why (i) does it handle it automatically; OR if for some reason that's too complicated, (ii) doesn't it put up this notice before it tries to compile everything else; OR (iii) the authors of the respective packages work it out between them so this works more smoothly; OR, (iv) at very least provide a more complete list of packages which it is necessary to remove. "such as" is a little on the vague side. Yes, I KNOW fink is a volunteer project (to which I am not qualified at present to contribute) and all that. I'm merely pointing out that this is an area in which fink could stand a little attention. TeX-related applications are bound to be a common thread with a large number of fink users, so I would think this bit of fairly significant user unfriendliness might be worth being placed at least sort of high on the priority list. Thanks, by the way, to all those who worked hard on 0.4!
