Somebody had the same problem a while back--my recollection was that there was a circular dependency where gnome-mime-data and gnome-vfs depend on each other. My recollection is that you had to do a forced install of one or the other. Try doing it on gnome-vfs:
sudo dpkg -i --force-depends /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/gnome-mime-data_2.0.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb On Mon, 2002-08-19 at 22:10, Tom Robinson wrote: > Hi Alexander and Martin > > Thanks for your continued help. > > >This happens sometimes when you upgrade to a version of a package that > >has splitoff packages (-shlibs, -dev, etc.).
