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.

I don't think this is true. You can remove all freetype packages whose filenames do not end in *-shlibs or *-bin. They are "builddepends only". This is sufficient to prevent other packages, like mozilla, from seeing and using Fink's freetype or freetype2.


So, I took a look at Mozilla's configure script options and found "--disable-freetype2".

I am not sure, but I suspect this is a bad idea, you will probably get bad font handling.
