I'm trying to install alternately the entire bundle-kde-ssl and koffice or mplayer, mjpegtools, mpeg2dec and mpegencode via the latest CVS updated fink installation on my 10.2.4 OSX with the December Dev tools. The problem is that either fink install wants to satisfy dependencies by installing both automake, and automake1.6. The resulting conflict creates the error message;

The following package will be installed or updated:
automake1.6
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/automake1.6_1.6.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 43027 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking automake1.6 (from .../automake1.6_1.6.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/automake1.6_1.6.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/sw/bin/aclocal', which is also in package automake
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/automake1.6_1.6.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package automake1.6-1.6.3-1


It doesn't matter whether automake or automake1.6 is installed. Trying to install the other generates the same error message regarding "trying to overwrite 's/sw/bin/aclocal'.." message. I tried various versions of leaving automake, or automake1.6, installed, or both uninstalled, before doing the aforementioned fink installs, but they call out whichever one isn't installed. Is there a special trick to installing both?

I notice that autoconf2.5 and autoconf2.54 seem to live happy together on my system.

Thanks,
