If not, then the problem is a _totally_ different issue: dependencies rather than fink being unable to rebuild a packagt that was removed as a build conflict. What package had the dependency on coreutils-default? I can't think of anything that _should_ carry a runtime dependency on coreutils-default, so it might need to be fixed. Build-time is possible, but we prefer not to force that. -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
