1) While waiting for a fix from the maintainer, issuing: sudo touch /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/coreutils.patch ... will allow the build to complete successfully. NB: in maintainer's last cvs log: "In coreutils-1:6.9-2 case no patch is needed." 2) Additionally, once the package is built and if you have cwp-su installed, you will need to issue: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/utils/coreutils-default_6.9-2_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/utils/coreutils_6.9-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (This is all on one line--I have both coreutils and coreutils-default installed. Remove the part about coreutils-default if you're not installing it.) You will know this is the case if you get this error: /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/utils/coreutils_6.9-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/sw/bin/grm', which is also in package cwp-su Best, Robert (both maintainers cc'd) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
