Now when I want to do an update all fink tries to install perl581.
fink list system-perl
Information about 2184 packages read in 2 seconds.
i system-perl 5.8.1-1 [virtual package representing perl]
system-perl581 5.8.1-1 Placeholder package for manually installed perl 5.8.1
I was trying to force remove system-perl, to be able to chose it to resolve a dependency. But if I try to remove I get:
Information about 2183 packages read in 6 seconds.
dpkg --remove system-perl
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-perl which isn't installed.
and if I try to re-install :
Information about 2183 packages read in 1 seconds.
The following package will be reinstalled:
system-perl
Failed: can't build system-perl-5.8.1-1 because no package description is available
Which is true:
find . -name "system-perl*.info" -ls

First, I would think there should be a copy of the same packages in 10.3 also, and there are none. Second we have only files like system-perl581-5.8.1-1.info, no system-perl-5.8.1-1.info. Should that be the same?
