I don't think it's a bug. The system works as you have described it.
Perhaps it's a feature request.
When I try to run the same operation in FinkCommander, FC presents the
same query to the user ("Fink needs help to satisfy..."). However,
there's no way (AFAIK) for FC to capture user input in the little shell
it uses for stdout. So it prints the message "assuming defaults" and
proceeds with the installation; I presume it's returning a value of "1"
(the first option presented) to Fink "under the hood."
The problem is, I don't know if this functionality ("assuming defaults")
is built into FinkCommander or Fink. Grepping the FC source tree for the
string "assuming defaults" yields nothing. I don't understand the
structure of the Fink source tree to know where to look for this
message. Am I correct that this is a feature of FC and not Fink itself?
And if this is built into Fink, how do I configure it?
