I'm doing a "fink update-all". If I deinstall both versions of

install autoconf, it removes it,
installs autconf2.5, installs several other things, tries to reinstall
autoconf and bombs.
How do I get around this? Usually just removing the offending
package with "dpkg -r --force-depends"
will do the trick, but this loop seems unbreakable.
I would like to reproduce what you are describing, but I can't unless
you are more specific: What version of fink do you have installed, and
what are the "several other things" that fink tries to install? An
excerpt of the bild log would be useful, too.
The two packages autoconf25 and autoconf have mutual Conflicts: and
Replaces: entries, so if your fink is not too old they should be able to
remove each other any time in the build process.
