Due to a reorganization of the glib2* package set, the "glib2" package itself no longer contains any files--there is no (longer:) any reason for any package to need or want it. However, some packages have not yet been adjusted by their maintainers for this new glib2* layout. You are seeing a symptom of those un-adjusted packages...no harm in having an empty package installed. For more information, see: http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Packaging:Obsolete_Packages and (I think) 'fink info glib2'. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
