wouldnt it be nice to be able to apt-get a huge package like gtk+2 and skip the very lenghty compile process
and then be able to fink install packages requiring some version of gtk+2 (but not necessarily the latest and greatest)?
the way I understand it now is that you can have your /sw tree managed by either apt-get or fink, but not both
the ability to pick and chose from either manager would indeed be a nice feature!

The binary distro is simply behind the source distro. This basically always the case. No more information is needed.
One day we will add to fink the ability to hold packages at a certain revision, stick to binary packages via 'fink' command, etc, but not yet.

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
