Hi, I have had two versions of ghostscript installed for some time (fink's and Gerben Wierda's), but now that system-ghostscript8 is available for 10.3 I tried to remove fink's ghostscript and gostscript-fonts and replace them with system-ghostscript8. Then I ran an update-all and got some related problems. First of all the new system-ghostscript8 does not have ghostscript-fonts in the "Provides" line, which I think it should, so fink wanted to install ghostscript-fonts as a dependency. I tried to modify the info file copying it to the local tree and adding ghostscript-fonts to the Provides line. At this point when I run update-all fink still wants to install ghostscript among other additional packages. Any idea why this happens despite the fact that system-ghostscript8 "provides" ghostscript?
