Hi, I didn't get a response on fink-beginners, so I thought I'd try here. I'm running MacOS 10.2 and Fink 0.10.0.cvs.
I tried to install postgresql with $ fink install postgresql and I got: <snip> > fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual > dependency. The candidates: > > (1) python: Interpreted, object-oriented language. > (2) python-nox: Interpreted, object-oriented language. > > Pick one: [1] 2 > > fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual > dependency.

So I'm wondering: Why is fink trying to install python? 10.2 comes with python 2.2 in /usr/bin/. Where does the dependency on XFree86 come from, and how do I get rid of it?
