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.
