Which pango1 package did you try to install: pango1-xft1 or pango1-xft2? You should have picked -xft1.xft1
You will also need to fix the imlib problem, because it causes dpkg to get confused. The fix is in the FAQ:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#bad-list-file
You say that this entry didn't help because you don't have a .deb: did you read the part where it said: "if you don't have the deb file, you can still proceed because the error doesn't interfere with builds. Just use fink rebuild packagename , to build the .deb--it won't install yet, though."
Oops, I guess I glazed over that. I tried rebuilding and installing imlib and giflib (which is a prereq of imlib). This wasn't successful. See below.
Are you sure you don't have the .deb anywhere (like /sw/var/cache/apt/archives)
I don't have an imlib deb anywhere. In fact at this point, I don't have an imlib package installed. I'd like to just clean out all these packages piece by piece and start over but it seems that I get this for everything (even for something simple like wtf):
[12:38:01 | ~| 2065] snofo % fink remove pango1
sudo /sw/bin/fink remove pango1
Information about 2850 packages read in 3 seconds.
dpkg --remove pango1 (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing pango1 (--remove): files list file for package `imlib' is missing final newline Errors were encountered while processing: pango1 Processing was halted because there were too many errors. ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't remove package pango1
i.e. use "fink rebuild imlib", then do all of the grubby dpkg/awk stuff.
OK, so I tried that, and I end up with :
[..stuff...]
files list file for package `imlib' is missing final newline
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/graphics/giflib_4.1.0- 7_darwin-powerpc.deb
[...stufff...]
So i try rebuilding giflib (because the deb is there and gives me a list of files). Rebuilding gets the junk that I've posted here:
http://www.joshforman.com/finkstuff/rebuildgiflib.txt
The first line that looks like an error is /sw/include/X11/Xlib.h:9: header file 'decw$include:Xlib.h' not found
This is the same type of error I got when I tried installing the newest gaim last week, which require me to 'fink selfupdate' if i wanted to get the latest one. So I seem to be back where I started. I hope I didn't screw something up...
Hope you can help, thanks again. Josh

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.
