The problem is library-to-library dependency. For example, every applications depending on gtk+2 must also depend on atk1, glib2-dev, pango1-xft2-dev, gettext-dev and libiconv-dev. This is major source of error. When Todai Fink Team runned a script like this in April:
for pkg in all-nonvirtual-packages; do if $pkg is not built; then fink remove all-of-non-essential-packages fink -y build $pkg fi done
we found many many packages (for example Apache2) could not be built
because something (for example libiconv-dev) is missing in
BuildDepends.
Sorry for jumping on this, but did you keep a note of what was missing from where? If you could inform the maintainers of missing BuildDepends it would help a lot.
