I've had this problem before, and had it again today. I have a program that I
regularly update and recompile from a CVS repository (nothing to do with Fink).
I just updated it a few days ago. Today I did an update to several packages via
Fink. Afterward I updated this program because it relies on one of these
programs. But the program wouldn't compile. I searched my archives and quickly
found the discussion on this previously. The fix was to install automake v1.9,
which was installed before. So it appears that one of these Fink updates
removed automake v1.9 and installed automake v1.5 (and thus broke my update
process). I did a little look and found that gettext (one of the packages that
I updated today) has automake v1.5 listed as one of it's dependencies.
So what am I to do. Obviously this makes it difficult for me. Every time there
is an update to gettext it will break my process unless I manually restore the
higher automake version. Is there a way to get the system to tell me? Fink
seems to think I'm up-to-date if I have the latest automake1.5 even if there
are newer versions (i.e., automake1.9, automake1.11, etc). I suppose I could
contact the package maintainer about the possibility of updating it to a newer
automake.
I need some advice here on the best solution to keep this as automated as
possible. Thanks.
The packages I updated were:
gettext 0.10.40-126
gettext-tools 0.17-16
imagemagick 6.5.8.2-1
imagemagick2-shlibs 6.5.8.2-1
libgettextpo2-shlibs 0.17-16
