Hi,

while all those warning are harmless but annoying, the real culprit is that your system does not know the user games. You need to install the passwd package. It seems to be a missing dependency (maintainer cc'd).

I don't know what might be the problem with sawfish. I kept my 1.3-3 version from the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree on 10.3.

HTH,
        Remi

fixed my gnome-games issue. When I tried to install fink (source) clean

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.
