Hi y'all,

I'm including two queries here, as they both stem from the same event. I was trying to install a bunch o packages, including gnome-convenience (I already had KDE running fine). After failing, the following symptoms were observed:
a) some user preferences were reset [including aqua window preferences, and even eudora's choice of as settings file(?!)]
b) man is broken, at least while "source /sw/bin/init.csh" is called.
c) X11 is broken.

I also have dependency issue to report so I'll do that first (forgive me; I know this is not the right place, but I thought I'd check my concepts before bothering someone who had not make a conscious choice to pet the newbies). Do these dependencies contradict each other, or am I confused about how this works?

"
Package: readline
...
Depends: readline-shlibs (= 4.2a-5)
"

seems to conflict with

"
Package: readline-shlibs
...
Replaces: readline
"

This may be the source of my problems (breaking X11 and whatnot) since I over-rode the suggested installation NOT installing readline.


A - the MAN problem



adding "source /sw/bin/init.csh" to ~/.tcshrc (or simply typing it in a terminal) seems to break man. All calls to man after this command are greeted with the error:

""
[dhcp-303:~] avaughan% man 11:47:48pm
/usr/bin/man: illegal option -- C
man, version 1.1

usage: man [-adfhkt {...etc}
""

The relevant part of /sw/bin/init.csh seems fine to me. I'm baffled as to where this illegal option -- C comes from.

"
set path = ( /sw/bin /sw/sbin $path /usr/X11R6/bin )

if ( $?MANPATH) then
setenv MANPATH /sw/share/man:/sw/man:${MANPATH}:/usr/X11R6/man
else
setenv MANPATH /sw/share/man:/sw/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man
endif

if ( $?INFOPATH ) then
setenv INFOPATH /sw/share/info:/sw/info:$INFOPATH
else
setenv INFOPATH /sw/share/info:/sw/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/lib/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info
endif
"

B - X11 is broken.

This one is beyond my ken. Any help? Depends on readline?

Thanks for your help!
