I am moving this to devel, because this problem is of a more principal nature.

I now removed qt, qt-shlibs and installed qt3, qt3-shlibs. The next package that depends on qt-shlibs breaks again, because The following 2 additional packages will be installed: qt qt-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n] dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11/qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb dpkg: regarding .../qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb containing qt-shlibs: qt3-shlibs conflicts with qt-shlibs qt-shlibs (version 3.0.3-3) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11/qt-shlibs_3.0.3-3_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing qt-shlibs So it seems that while the qt-shlibs package is still around, the virtual qt-shlibs that is provided by qt3-shlibs is not taken into account. My question is: Are qt and qt-shlibs supposed to live in parallel with qt3 qnd qt3-shlibs or are the latter meant as an incompatible complete replacement? If this is true, then the qt-3.0.3 package descriptions should be removed. -- Martin _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
