So, I had a fink installation on my 10.1.5 machine. I updated to 10.2 using the "backup and fresh install" method. I just went and installed gimp using dselect, and got the following message.
I don't see why gimp or anything related would need these users or groups, so I'm chalking this up to a difference between 10.1.5 and 10.2. I went ahead and said "no" to the changes, because I don't want to mess with my new 10.2 install. Can anyone advise me on what's going on here? Should I have said "Yes"? Should I just not be doing installations with fink on 10.2 yet? I'm on the digest, so please reply-all.
