You can get your fink back to a usable state by 'dpkg -r xemacs'. If you want xemacs, you can 'fink rebuild xemacs; fink install xemacs'. You can probably skip the explicit rebuild command, but if the problem returns that added step may help. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
