Deal helper,

I am trying to install gv on my mac (Powerbook G4 500MHz, Mac OSX 10.1.5) and I have the following troubles :

with fink, I do :

[mac-3:~] manu% fink install gv
sudo /sw/bin/fink  install gv

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:

(2)  ghostscript6: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01 (used with teTeX)
(3)  system-ghostscript: Placeholder package for manually installed ghostscript

Pick one: [1] 2

Why this is trying to make me install xfree86-base-4.1.0-8 when I already have a newer version of xfree-base installed :

[mac-3:~] manu% fink list xfree

If I try with apt-get, I stop the process because I do not have any option to install ghostcript6 instead of ghostcript (v 7.02 by default) which is mandatory for me as I am using teTeX :

[mac-3:~] manu% sudo apt-get install gv
