can someone point me to a faq describing the relationship between fink and apt-get?
first of all, my path is: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sw/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin the reason I'm asking is this: (output from various stages of dselect): Merging Available information Replacing available packages info, using /sw/var/cache/apt/available. Information about 1205 package(s) was updated. The following packages will be REMOVED: bitchx mutt The following NEW packages will be installed: system-perl581 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 2 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/1010B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. (Reading database ... 25100 files and directories currently installed.) Removing bitchx ... /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/bitchx.prerm: update-alternatives: command not found dpkg: error processing bitchx (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/bitchx.postinst: update-alternatives: command not found dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Removing mutt ... /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/mutt.prerm: update-alternatives: command not found dpkg: error processing mutt (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: bitchx mutt E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue." this is where I"m stumped.. I'm not sure how to fix the errors above the message... bitchx and mutt seem to be hanging things up... bash-2.05a$ which mutt /sw/bin/mutt bash-2.05a$ which bitchx no bitchx in /usr/local/bin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sw/bin /usr/X11R6/bin any advise appreciated...
