I can't seem to fix anything. Is there a way to completely purge fink and start over?

Hi Ryan,

Ok, I really messed up here.

I upgraded to OS X 10.3 and was trying to get gaim working
again.  In the process of doing so, I deleted an esound patch
file because it was failing to patch another file or something.
Then, during an "update-all" build, fink started saying that it
could not install esound because the patch file was missing.  I
tried the force removing it and it still wouldn't install because
it wanted that patch file that I erased.  Then I reindexed fink
and it says that there is no esound package.  It is apparently
now called "esound-bin."  So, now when I try to do an
"update-all," I get this message:

sudo /sw/bin/fink  update-all
Information about 1678 packages read in 3 seconds.
WARNING: While resolving dependency "esound" for package
"gnome-print-0.36-14", package "esound" was not found.
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "esound" for package
"gnome-print-0.36-14" (no matching packages/versions found)

Can anyone please tell me how to get out of this hole and start
updating my packages so that gaim might work again?

I would delete every file that has esound in its name and still lies on your machine. After that do a fink scanpackages, a fink index, a fink selfupdate and see what happens.

If this fails try to install esound via apt-get, and you will get
either an older version of it or the latest, that's pretty equal, I
only hope that so the correct information about the package comes
back into fink.

Eric Hoch
