I built it and it works currently on my Tiger iMac G5 1.8 Ghz ,1

Gig RAM.


However it was a bit long task:


1) I used the SSL version of every alternative proposed by the

installer

2) The installation often (10-12 times) stopped because of a wrong

version of db42 or other package installed

�� � � � � � � 2,1) Each time I did dpkg -r --force-remove "name of

the wrong version" (p.e. db42)



I am a newbie and this doesn't work for me. when I do a "dpkg -r --

force-remove-reinstreq db42" I get

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove db42 which isn't installed.


And "dpkg -r --force-remove-essential db42"

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove db42 which isn't installed.


you could try the --force-all option instead: sudo dpkg -r --force-all db42

How history is good, I can also find there that I had to do:

sudo dpkg -r --force-all db42-shlibs to install db42-ssl-shlibs in place

Meaning that not only the db42 but also db42-shlibs may also be on the way of your db42-ssl installation (db42-ssl requires db42-ssl-shlibs).�
This may be your problem (the libraries are still non-ssl version and should be force-removed)

you could do a fink list db* (or use fink commander table) to see which versions and libraries are in use.�
If you use fink commander check what is the archived version (you want db42 archived) and current version (you want db42-ssl & db42-ssl-shlibs current).�





�� � � � � � � 2,2) I then fink installed the required version

(p.e. db42-ssl) since the .deb are already built this goes fast

�� � � � � � � 2,2) The I unlocked the non-installed package



How do you do this?


Each time an installation fails you get a message at the end.�
The command to unlock the the package is written here

OK a little history and...

fink remove fink-buildlock-full name of the package
example: fink remove fink-buildlock-graphviz-1.16-11



�� � � � � � � 2,3) And fink installed this package alone

3) When this was done I relaunched the Bundle-kde-ssl installation


6) Several times it looked like the startup froze but it was just a

long, very long, extremely long startup step (once I counted 11

minutes).



My old binaries before I decided to rebuild (stupid move) did this. I

suspect it has to do with the initialization of sound which changes

in tiger.


Sound and KDE, dunno why it's such an headache...
you may be right for sure.

Thanks.


my pleasure
