Hi,
I'm relatively new to Fink, I've been trying to install the Evolution email/PIM client using both the command line and Fink Commander.
The problem I have is the one described in the FAQ at Q9.11: I installed Apple's X11 but Fink keeps asking to install XFree86
I've been through all of the trouble shooting options including uninstalling Apple's X11 environment, running
sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86 system-xfree86-42 system-xfree86-43 \
xfree86 xfree86-shilbs \
xfree86-base xfree86-base-shlibs xfree86-rootless xfree86-rootless-shlibs \
xfree86-base-threaded xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs \
xfree86-rootless-threaded xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg
fink selfupdate; fink index
and then reinstalling X11 and the X11 SDK.
Currently Fink reports that the virtual packages for Apple's X11 are installed:
i system-xfree86 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11]
i system-xfree86-dev 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools]
i system-xfree86-shlibs 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 shared libraries]
however when I go to install an application (or run fink update-all) I get:
The following 2 additional packages will be installed: xfree86 xfree86-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
If I choose no I the installer fails with Failed: Package requirements not satisfied.
If I choose yes I get:
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
