Hello,

This stumped the folks on Fink-beginners, so I'm hoping someone here will have some ideas. I'm doing a new install of fink on an OS X 10.4 machine. It's a shared machine, so I'm installing fink into /Users/myusername/sw which is an NFS share from another OS X 10.4 machine, the NFS server.

The initial install of fink and its dependencies, and the subsequent fink selfupdate, go fine. This includes the stable version of gettext. I need to use various unstable packages, though, so I add unstable/main to the fink.conf file and run fink selfupdate again to get the list of unstable packages. When I do this, of course, fink updates itself and its dependencies to unstable versions, and herein lies the problem. The unstable version of gettext, a fink dependency, builds without a problem, but fails to install. Note that I don't have libgettext3-dev (or libgettext* for that matter) installed so that conflict isn't an issue -- nothing's installed at this point except what fink itself installs.

(For anyone who read my messages on the other mailing list: I fixed the timestamp errors I was seeing on the build (NFS servers had the wrong times, that's now fixed), but the problem persists even after a complete reinstallation of fink from scratch.)

Someone suggested installing libgettext3-shlibs, but that requires gettext as a dependency and of course I can't install gettext.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. The output of the failed install is below; I included the beginning, the end, and the bit in the middle mentioning the directory upon which the install dies. I hacked /Users/srs56/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait to pass the maximum debug flags to dpkg so I could see what's going on.

Note that the directory /Users/srs56/sw/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci, where the install dies, doesn't exist before the install command is run, and is created during the install. It persists after the install dies, and then contains a single file called "control". The other directories upon which the install runs ensure_pathname_nonexisting successfully at the end are not present after the install dies.

Thanks very much for your help!
