Unpacking gettext-bin (from .../gettext-bin_0.10.40-17_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/gettext-bin_0.10.40-17_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/sw/share/locale/locale.alias', which is also in package tar dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Note that I didn't install any of the gettext-* or tar packages separately (except, as reported yesterday, gettext-dev that was needed for building of dpkg); they were all built or rebuilt automatically and in the order required by other packages.
My analysis of the problem: In 10.2, tar did not contain the locale.alias file, gettext-bin did, and tar had a
BuildDepends: gettext-dev, gettext-bin, libiconv-dev
line. Now this BuildDepends line is removed (probably due to problems with libiconv-dev). When tar is built before gettext-bin is installed, it sees that there is no locale.alias, so it makes one. (Actually, the criterion configure is looking at might be the existence of libintl.h, which comes from gettext-dev).
Because of a similar conflict concerning charset.alias, this file is being explicitly removed from gettext.
I think either gettext-bin has to be fixed so that it doesn't contain locale.alias any more, or the BuilDepends on gettext-dev and gettex-bin has to be put back into tar.
Right now, I cannot go on building without some dpkg -i --force-overwrite, because gettext-bin is required by some other package and tar is essential. But I don't want to do this kind of hacking at this stage, because for testing purposes, I would like to keep this sytem as standard as possible.
