Selecting previously deselected package gnome-desktop.
dpkg: regarding .../gnome-desktop_2.0.10-4_darwin-powerpc.deb containing gnome-desktop:
�gnome-desktop conflicts with gnome-core (<< 2.0.0)
��gnome-core (version 1.4.1-1) is installed.
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/gnome- desktop_2.0.10-4_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
�conflicting packages - not installing gnome-desktop
I can't guarantee this will work. But typically, when you get an error from dpkg about conflicts, you're best off using apt-get for this bit. It has more sophisticated dependency and conflict handling than Fink. Here's how to do it:
$ fink install some-package
Wait for dpkg failure, when you get a message like this:
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/gnome/gnome- desktop_2.0.10-4_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
�conflicting packages - not installing gnome-desktop
In this case package gnome-desktop, version/revision 2.0.10-4 is the one that Fink didn't properly install. So run:
$ fink scanpackages $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop=2.0.10-4 # Note the equal sign
(If that fails, try: sudo apt-get -f install)
Finally resume the original command:
$ fink install some-package
Good luck, Dave
