I understand that the "system-something" means that it is already installed.
I didn't try to install tetex. It was installed by fink to satisfy some
dependency, but it didn't work. As far as I know, I haven't tried to change
any of the default settings as I don't know enough about how they work to
make an educated guess as to what to do next.
Any additional help on this matter would be appreciated.
It should have, at some point, asked to satisfy a virtual dependency, of which system-tetex is only one choice.
For now you can probably get away doing "fink install tetex" and then continuing with whatever you were doing (you might also need to remove the half-installed system-tetex, with "sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-tetex").
-- We put a lot of thought into our defaults. We like them. If we didn't, we would have made something else be the default. So keep your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults. Don't touch. Consider them mandatory. "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
