Hola, I've just reinstalled fink from scratch. The first package I attempted to install was libcaca [actually, second, after aalib which had almost no dependencies]:
lefty:etc chunky$ fink install libcaca-dev Information about 6992 packages read in 0 seconds.

[Y/n] That's, uh, that's quite the list. I count at least four completely separate UI toolkits, at least one extra C compiler, cd ripping libraries, an open source matlab replacement. A web browser, intepreters/compilers for at least five or six different languages. All stuff that, off the top of my head, I would imagine aren't necessary for a little library that renders text in color. I do understand how dependencies stack up, but I think something here has gone outta whack in order for it to be quite this huge... I suspect that it mostly traces back to a single gnome dependency somewhere, but I don't know how I'd go about getting a more useful looking tree than that?
