[Fink-users] Unstable arb package fails to install

[Rich Grenyer]

Title: Unstable arb package fails to install

Dear all,

I’m trying to install the arb package from the sci unstable tree using fink. Having had a “no package called arb” type error, I double checked that unstable/main and unstable/crypto were in fink.conf, ran ’fink index’ and couldn’t find a reference to it in the list. Having then run fink selfupdate-cvs, downloaded four packages for updating I now find ‘fink install arb’ I get:

xxxx:~] xxxxxxx% sudo fink install arb
Password:
Reading package info...
Updating package index... done.
Information about 1284 packages read in 72 seconds.
pkg arb  version ###
pkg arb  version 07_11_01-1
Failed: Internal error: node for libjpeg already exists


Any idea what this is and how to get past it? I know it’s an unstable release but this looks like a fink-related error rather than a problem with the package code (or maybe it’s the end of a long week)...

Cheers,

Rich
