"dpkg -S /sw/bin/fig2dev” will tell you where it came from. Hanspeter’s change doesn’t affect the fact that the Octave packing does not yet recognize the fig2dev package as an acceptable choice. That’ll have to happen as well. If you want to try that locally, edit /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/octave-3.8.2.info and change "transfig-graphicx | transfig-epsfig,” to “fig2dev | transfig-graphicx | transfig-epsfig,” in the RuntimeDepends: line. Then use “fink rebuild” to rebuild your preferred Octave variant with the new dependency option. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison
