I sort of figured that out but it seems that dependencies prohibit removing the packages. Should I force remove kdenetwork3-base? What is that command?
Thanks, Brian:
[Brian-OKeefes-Computer:~] brianokeefe% fink remove kdenetwork3 kdepim-base kdepim3-common
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink remove kdenetwork3 kdepim-base kdepim3-common

Hanspeter, Thank you for the information. I'm still learning so excuse the simple question. Do I follow 'fink list kdenetwork kmail kdepim' with 'fink remove <packages>'? Does '<packages>' mean I should enter each package name in that place or is it a command that removes all the packages just listed?
They're two separate commands and you should replace <packages> with the
list of packages that the 'fink list' command shows as installed. From
the list output, if a package is preceeded by "i", it means that it is
installed and up to date, "(i)" = installed but newer version available,
and nothing means not installed.
If you tell it to remove all the packages on one go, there's a chance that
it will fail in a similar way to your original message. If that's the
case, just do each package individually until they're all gone and then
try doing the reinstall.
