Does anyone understand the following error from fink cvs with the 10.4 branch? I find that pymol-py24 appears to build and run fine. Fink validate on pymol-py.info reports no errors. However when I fink validate the deb that is created (pymol-py24_0.98-1006_darwin-powerpc.deb) I get a strange
error message...

Validating .deb file ./pymol-py24_0.98-1006_darwin-powerpc.deb...
Error: File in a language-versioned package is neither versioned nor in a versioned directory.
        Offending file: /sw/bin/pymol

Since /sw/bin/pymol is a shell script to launch pymol, I'm not exactly sure
what the complaint from fink is about.
    Thanks in advance for any clarifications.

The complaint has to do with the possibility of a conflict between the /sw/bin/pymol installed by pymol-py24, and the same file installed by another variant (say, pymol-py23).

One way to eliminate a conflict like this is to use the "alternatives system", which unfortunately does not seem to be documented very well. You can find some examples of its use, though, in tetex.info .
