Hi folks,
I'm here on a 1.5GHz 17" PowerBook, 10.4, fink-0.23.9.tar.gz, edited /sw/etc/fink.conf to include unstable. I'm having problems installing several packages.
I want to install svn-client-ssl (the first and only time that I typed
fink install XXX, so all the other packages are dependencies). Fink
fails to install it everytime because of such things:
-------------------------------------
dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/root-fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 /sw/src
dpkg-deb: building package `fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3' in
`/sw/src/fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3_2005.05.11-15.51.40_darwin-powerpc.deb'.
Setting build lock...

... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3: fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 depends on gdbm3 (>= 1.8.0-4); however: Package gdbm3 is not installed. /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Can't set build lock for python23-nox (1:2.3.4-3)
If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages -- for example, telling you that fink-buildlock-python23-nox-1:2.3.4-3 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package python23-nox (i.e, "fink build python23-nox"). When that has completed successfully, you could retry whatever you did that led to the present error.
Regardless of the cause of the lock failure, don't worry: you have not wasted compiling time! Packages that had been completely built before this error occurred will not have to be recompiled. dpkg -r fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 (Reading database ... 7700 files and directories currently installed.) Removing fink-buildlock-python23-nox-2.3.4-3 ... Failed: buildlock failure -------------------------------------
I also had several times an error stating that some dependencies were missing (e.g. readline). After "fink install readline" the error vanished, but another error came up (gdbm not installed).
Is this a know issue??
