Hello, I am new to this mailing list. I am working at the Bonn University and using Mac OS-X since December 2005 (although I am using Fink since then I would still call me a beginner since I rarely had to do with solving problems with Fink). I am using the stable tree.
A few days ago I have experienced a strange error during fink update-all: --------------- cut here ---------------------- Reading buildlock packages... Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies! Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to fix things by running: fink scanpackages sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install system-tetex=20010808-14 Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies ---------------- cut here ---------------------- I have tried to follow the advices shown above, but this leads to other problems with unresolvable dependencies and finally to an incomplete de-installation of the tetex package (I successfully re-installed tetex, but now I am back on the point where I begun). Did anybody have similar experiences and possibly a solution? And what is this "placeholder package for manually installed tetex" actually used for? Why does preview-latex require it? Isn't there any way to force it's installation with keeping the existing tetex (the complete installation package)? Actually, I have never really used preview-latex on other platforms (Debian Linux; I normally use self-written scripts for TeXing and an open xdvi window for display), so it wouldn's really matter to me to simply skip it. But how could I tell Fink not to try to install preview-latex (which repeatedly terminates the update-all process and forces me to install the remaining packages manually)? If possible, I would like to avoid a complete re-installation of all the Fink stuff.
