Hi Dave,
An avid fink user in the MacOSX Hints forum has reported an unusual
problem this morning. I wonder if you might know anything about it
since the cvs update for this morning installed new versions of libpng
which is supposedly wrecking gnome and some other package installs.
The following is a copy of his post to the forum:
Gnome Warning!!!
If you have Gnome installed, and you do a "fink update-all", you are in
for a bad surprise. The update will uninstall libpng 1.0.12-6 and
replace it with libpng3 which in turn will dump all your Gnome graphics
into an unreadable state. You will get a warning that Gnome was
compiled with 1.0.12 and that the libpng3 won't work. So the logical
thing to do would be to uninstall/reinstall to a libpng 1.0.12 and then
totally rebuild Gnome-core. But no, that does not work! In other words,
if you like using Gnome, and you do a Fink update-all, you will trash
Gnome into a totallu unuseable state, never to work again.
You can rebuild all you want. It won't work. I
deleted-reinstalled-rebuilt, using every possible combination of
building and nothing works. *&*$% @#$^% &^&
*&*&^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I haven't notified the Fink Folks. I am to &*&^%^%$%en mad. I let
Sao do it if he has the same problem. He is more patient than I. I am
really mad.
EDIT: So I checked everything else out. Windowmaker is half-trashed,
Blackbox the same..... In other words, a simple "fink update-all"
totally trashed my Fink install this morning. I give up! I am pulling
out my Debian PPC CDs that I had someone burn for me last week.
Bye-bye OSX and Fink!!! ToodleLoo Kind folks!!!!
Back to Debian..
