Did you try "fink index -f" as I had suggested earlier in the thread to Bob and thereby get a version of libgettext3-dev which knows how to swap in and out with libgettext8-dev? I expect that you, as well, have a stale cached version of libgettext3's package description, and that's hiding libgettext3*-0.14.5-4. "index -f" will rebuild the cache. libgettext8-dev was on your system because you probably have packages which use libgettext8-shlibs. This is a newer version of the gettext library than libgettext3-shlibs, and we're moving packages towards it gradually. Some packages haven't been updated yet, and one of _those_ wanted you to use libgettext3 instead. There's not an automated way to show reversed build depends. You can show reverse dependencies via e.g. "apt-cache showpkg" and then deduce what the corresponding build depends would be. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvpwjIACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9wuwCeP7KCQyV1dYE1IX9ocHQjJTIF PzAAn1uAjGvpiEpupIlcYe5QscLB4B8j =k0ao -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
