Hi, 

following this message I went and updated fink and ran 'fink update-all',
which I had not done for a looong time.
It claimed it needed to update or install 164 packages (and 43 additional
packages).
After a couple of hours the compilation stopped on the e-sound package
with the following error:

<snip beginning where all seemed to happen normally>

I thought this was an esound problem and not a fink problem,
so I updated other packages myself. So far I have successfully
updated firefox and kdelibs3-ssl, and I just launched an update
of mozilla.

I will keep on installing packages not depending on e-sound by
hand, but in case you want a report on a complete run of fink update-all,
is there a way to go around the problem with e-sound?

I'm using mac os 10.3.9.
$ fink --version
Package manager version: 0.24.9
Distribution version: 0.7.2.rsync

Cheers,
Clemence 

PS : I'd like to thank all the people working on fink for their
great job. Without fink, I'd be running a DELL laptop under linux
and would still be trying to figure out how to configure my soundcard,
and life would not be quite as easy as it is now.
