I pasted my error message at the bottom of this email. I don't know exactly which package Fink was working on at the time; I'd typed "fink update-all" and it was updating several packages.
If I'm reading this right, Fink had downloaded & compiled gtkhtml1.1-dev & then found out it conflicted with the original gtkhtml. What confuses me is that it looks like /after/ Fink recognized this conflict, it tried to set up gtkhtml1.1-dev /anyway/. My questions are: is anything screwed up? or can I leave my setup as it is? should I do something to gnome-core-shlibs to make it accept gtk1.1-dev? should I now remove gtk1.1-dev or leave it there for later use? Thanks, Complex Error message: Selecting previously deselected package gtkhtml1.1. dpkg: considering removing gtkhtml in favour of gtkhtml1.1 ... dpkg: no, cannot remove gtkhtml (--auto-deconfigure will help): gnome-core-shlibs depends on gtkhtml gtkhtml is to be removed. dpkg: regarding .../gtkhtml1.1_1.1.7-1_darwin-powerpc.deb containing gtkhtml1.1: gtkhtml1.1 conflicts with gtkhtml gtkhtml (version 1.0.2-4) is installed. dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/gtkhtml1.1_1.1.7-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing gtkhtml1.1 Selecting previously deselected package gtkhtml1.1-dev.
