Hello, Franz. For the record, it's usually better that you reply to the mailing list too so that other people might step in and help you. I'm also CC'ing the maintainer of fpc, Karl-Michael.
It looks like you have an old version of fpc installed and it needs to be removed before you update all packages. For the record, could you please tell us the output of the following commands? fink -V fink list -t fpc Also, have you run fink selfupdate? There's a warning in your previous e-mail: > WARNING: unable to determine last selfupdate time. You should run > 'fink selfupdate' > to get the latest package descriptions. Please run the following commands; hopefully they'll get you an up-to- date and functional fpc installation. fink remove fpc fpc-config fpc-doc fink selfupdate fink update-all fink install fpc On 28/12/2009, at 15:39, Franz wrote: > Hello, > > I did like you told and got the new version of fink but not fpc.
