I saw on the devel list that someone had the same issue as I have now, when trying to install some packages (xchat, gaim, gtk, etc.). I was wondering if there was any workaround to this. The original email was at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ msg05379.html


Here's the end of the messages I got when trying to install:


configure: error: pangoxft Pango backend found, but Xft not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
### execution of ./configure failed, exit code 2
Failed: compiling gtk+2-2.2.1-6 failed  

When I list my installed fink pkgs here are the related ones (but the versions don't seem to jive):
(i) gtk+ 1.2.10-15 The Gimp Toolkit
(i) gtk+-data 1.2.10-15 The Gimp Toolkit
(i) gtk+-shlibs 1.2.10-15 The Gimp Toolkit
(i) xfree86-base-shli 4.2.1.1-4 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data


(I guess that means they're really set to be removed)

In other news, I also get this error now when trying to remove gtk+:

(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing gtk+ (--remove):
 files list file for package `imlib' is missing final newline
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gtk+
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1.

I also got it when installing some other packages. I read the FAQ, but the suggestion for this error didn't help. I noticed that it's talking about imlib, but i dont seem to have a deb file for that. I had tried toying with the .deb for the package i was installing (i had also got it with xchat and python apparently).

I hope this is clear to somebody. :) Let me know if you need clarification.

TIA
