I've tried searching the list archives and nothing suggested there 
fixed my gnome-games issue. When I tried to install fink (source) clean 
on a new panther installation, I edited the /sw/etc/fink.conf to 
include unstable trees, did a selfupdate-rsync, and update-all, and 
then installed as my first package, bundle-gnome. Two times on two 
clean installs it dies in the same place. After a long string of OMF 
file validation errors like;

OMF file [/sw/share/omf/gnome-user-docs/unix-primer-it.omf] does not 
validate against ScrollKeeper-OMF DTD: 
/sw/share/xml/scrollkeeper/dtds/scrollkeeper-omf.dtd
Unable to register /sw/share/omf/gnome-user-docs/unix-primer-it.omf

I get;

chown: separation of user and group with a period is deprecated
chown: games: Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing gnome-games (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gnome-games
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package gnome-games-1.4.0.4-12

I tried rebuilding a bunch of stuff (suggested in some previous list 
threads), and it always comes up like this. I then try to manually 
install everything EXCEPT gnome-games to complete my bundle-gnome, and 
it seems to install everything ok, except sawfish which dies when it 
tries to see if it has the right version of rep-gtk. It needs 0.14.2 or 
greater (I think), and it dies when it finds 0.18.2 installed.

Additionally this OMF file problem also comes up when I install 
gnumeric. A long string of OMF file validation errors. However that 
installation actually completes. In an effort to correct this I've also 
tried rebuilding scrollkeeper and a bunch of other things suggested in 
previous threads, to no avail. (Stuff like libxml2, etc.)

The strange thing is that right when 10.3 was released I installed it 
on a different computer here (ibook as opposed to this system, my main 
powerbook), and there were of course far fewer packages available in 
the 10.3 tree for fink then, my bundle-gnome installed fine there with 
no errors. I'm not sure if the answer is to try and build bundle-gnome 
from stable trees only, from binary, or what. Any help is appreciated.
