Hi,

I had installed Mozilla 1.3 from binary, and found "fink update-all" always failed while trying to update Mozilla to 1.5.1-1. After read some threads in this list, I knew that it has something to do with the freetype packages.

However, I can not remove freetype packages because other softwares depend on them. So, I took a look at Mozilla's configure script options and found "--disable-freetype2". So, I hacked into the /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/mozilla.info and added something like:

--- mozilla.info.bak Mon Mar 22 10:34:42 2004
+++ mozilla.info Mon Mar 22 10:36:18 2004

After that, run "fink install mozilla" again, and happy to find that it works.

cheers,

Jeff
