I'm trying to install gnome-bundle, and gnome-games is causing problems.
I have latest fink/unstable, and when I first tried to install
gnome-bundle, it errored out most of the way through, then told me to try
again to reconfig the failed packages. When I tried, I got a long error
dump that I have no idea how to interpret. I've posted it apt-get's
stderr at <http://marapfhile.dyndns.org/gnomeerrlog>; stdout is at
<http://marapfhile.dyndns.org/gnomeaptlog�.


Someone on #fink suggested installing scrollkeeper, but when I tried
that, I got the following (after quite a while)

The XML::Parser error should be easy enough to fix (missing dependency?). Install xml-parser-pm581.

OK, I've installed that, and scrollkeeper seems to be working now, but gnome-games still isn't. The new error log is up where the old one was, <http://marapfhile.dyndns.org/gnomeerrlog>.

Wait a minute--what version of gnome-games is griping? Can you do


dpkg -l gnome-games

I posted a complaint a while ago that the gnome-games version from Fink's GNOME-1.4 wouldn't fully install, even from the bindist, because of errors with scrollkeeper very much like what you're showing.

This makes sense. Since you said you've got unstable turned on, are you trying to install GNOME-2.4? If so, then you should just remove the old bundle-gnome package, and then take out the old gnome-games with


sudo dpkg --remove gnome-games

(if it's half-installed apt-get won't want to do it, and "fink remove" may not deal properly with it either).
