I am getting really tired of answering the same
question from users 10-20 times a month about gcc42. The
cctools dependency error message is too cryptic. We need
to map those versions to the explicit versions of Xcode
in fink so it says something simple like "Xcode >= 2.4.1 is
required". I could change gcc42 to depend on the gcc4.0
virtual package but I suspect end-users would be just as
confused. Since having the correct Xcode version installed
can be key to properly using fink, I think fink should
map both the cctools and gcc-4.0 dependencies to
a more meaningful error message that directs the user
to the proper minimal version of Xcode that needs to
be installed.
