Max, in this connection I have a beginner's question: Is there some sort of "apt-get reinstall" command? I couldn't see this in the docs. The reason I would need this is that I am compiling my Fink stuff on a another machine and then use apt-get to install it here. On the other machine I ran your little script to detect the 50.0.0 dependencies and ran fink rebuild on the packages detected. Now I would like to get the updated packages over onto this machine. But the version numbers did not change, so the only way I see is to use "apt-get remove" followed by "apt-get install". But due to dependency following, apt-get wants to remove practically my whole fink installation, which I would rather avoid. This is also non-reversible: "apt-get remove A" wants to remove all packages that depend on A, but "apt-get install A" does not reinstall these others, of course. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
