Hi Frank,

fink does recognise your installed packages, otherwise it wouldn't show you (i) in front of them. (i) means installed, thought a newer version is available mostly from sources. I guess that you miss some split-offs of these packages, but we need more information from you.

What is the output of 'fink install nicotine'? What gives 'fink list atk gtk+2'?

Cheers,
                Remi

Hello fink-users,
I checked the docs, the FAQ and the mailing-list archive, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem.


System is Mac OS X 10.3.2 with fink 0.17.1, XTools 1.1 and Apple X11

when I try to install a package from a custom-made .info file, fink doesn't recognize already installed binary packages that I installed with apt-get. I tried fink index etc.

I am installing nicotine with custom made nicotine.info file (http://captnswing.net/howto/nicotine/nicotine-1.0.6.info)

Now: fink list -i shows me atk and gtk+2 packages with (i) (I installed them before with apt-get)

but when I run fink install nicotine then fink still wants to install atk and gtk+2 from sources

I doesnt seem to recognize the already installed packages. What is missing?

thanks a lot for any insight
-frank
