fink --version
Package manager version: 0.11.2
Distribution version: 0.5.1.cvs
CVS (yes)
OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)
Apple's X11 beta and system-xfree86
As for the FAQ, I must be looking in the wrong place. I see section 3.6 (Removing all of Fink) but this seems too drastic. I don't want to mess with fetchmail and pcre-bin , which I installed using fink.
I thought the behavior of dselect was a known issue. Sometimes the screen is a mishmash of characters (character graphics, Minitel-like). When I change to the list of packages the screen recovers. Sometimes the index (menu) screen is normal and at other times it is a mishmash.
Other symptoms. I wanted to remove mysql because I don't use it and it is part of OS X now. I cannot and the suggestion is to reinstall and then remove, but I cannot reinstall. When I attempt to install, I get the following messages:
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "libxml2-shlibs (= 2.4.30-1)" for package "libxml2-bin-2.4.30-1" (no matching packages/versions found)
If I try to reinstall gnumeric, for instance, I get a similar dependency failure:
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "imlib-shlibs (= 1.9.14-2)" for package "imlib-1.9.14-2" (no matching packages/versions found)
It does not matter whether I use dselect or "fink" from the command line.
Thanks for you patience.

Hi,
We'd like to help you, but your quesions are obscure in some ways, and it's not easy to do so. Especially, it's unclear on what condition you're woring with Fink. What is your Fink version? What is your OS version? Do you have access to CVS repository?
Yes, there are several ways to start over Fink installation. It is explained in some detail in FAQ on Fink web site. Please take a look on it.
Finally, in what way does the "graphics of dselect" need to be fixed? As far as I can see, there is no deficiency to it. Since 0.5.0a, it's colored, at least on XDarwin. It's nice.
Cheers,
Kow

I have been using fink for a year or more with great success, but now it will neither install nor uninstall packages through dselect or the fink command. In all cases dependencies are missing. I think this happened when I tried to upgrade to 10.2 and downgrade from unstable to stable. Is there some way that I can wipe away all of the existing config information and begin again. And when is the graphics in dselect going to be fixed?
