When I try to install ghostscript:
% sudo fink install ghostscript
and picking all the default choices the installation process ends up with this error message:
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't batch-install packages: /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/xfree86_4.3.99.16-2_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/xfree86-shlibs_4.3.99.16-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
I have read the FAQ about xfree troubles, especially
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#apple-x11-wants-xfree86
and
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#wants-xfree86-on-upgrade
and followed their advice but it still does not work.
When I
% sudo fink selfupdate
I get this error message
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.
However, this seems to work:
% sudo fink list -i system-xfree86 Password: Reading package info... Updating package index... done. Information about 1723 packages read in 30 seconds.
But this does not look right:
% sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86 system-xfree86-42 system-xfree86-43
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-xfree86 which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-xfree86-42 which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-xfree86-43 which isn't installed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance David
