Technically, it's a problem with your dpkg database, not with pstoedit as such: this will block your ability to install anything. You'll need to edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status as a super-user go to around line 2105, and see what the item for db1-aes says. If it shows something like purge ok installed change that to purge ok not-installed and save the file. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4hpIUACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8SYQCgnSlISI0O3DBdJoXdkxE5tLBb pZsAn3peqg+qcbL/r9gbylqMHTEy8WP9 =FrMD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
