It is actually worse. In that example, the installation completed in the end, even if there was an unnecessary build step involved. But with UseBinaryDist: true, fink is now unwilling to install some packages at all. There must be some serious miscommunication between fink and apt-get. Installing the same package with "sudo apt-get install" works perfectly. Below is the output. This looks now more like a bug in fink than a mere user error. -- Martin > costabel% fink install octave364 > Information about 8157 packages read in 0 seconds. > The following package will be installed or updated: > octave364 > /sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait -q --ignore-breakage --download-only install > octave364=3.6.4-9 > Reading Package Lists... > Building Dependency Tree... > The following NEW packages will be installed: > octave364 > 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded. > Need to get 0B/2620kB of archives.
