Dear Fink wizards,
in the course of following these suggestions given by fink update-all:
While trying to install:
libkpathsea4-3.5.7-1
The following inconsistencies found:
libkpathsea6 conflicts with libkpathsea4, but libkpathsea4 is installed
Trying to resolve dependencies...
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 libkpathsea4=3.5.7-1
this dependency issue occurred to me:
$ sudo apt-get install libkpathsea4=3.5.7-1
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libkpathsea6
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libkpathsea4
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/195kB of archives. After unpacking 365kB will be used.

Failed: can't batch-remove packages: evince jadetex texlive-base
at which point I gave up, because, as I remember, installing gnucash was a
mess of its own, so I prefer to avoid recursive removal there.
On a side note, I am somewhat confused about jadetex not being (proposed
to be) installed again when I run fink update-all right now. Why was it
installed in the first place? I am quite sure I had never manually chosen
to install it.
Thank you in advance for any helpful hints.
