Jose A., decompress the following attachment and copy the files into / sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo and then fink index. This revision does not support svg (gnome dependencies) and djvu formats (qt3 dependencies), but it has less dependencies.

You can 'fink show-deps PACKAGE' to see the immediate (explicit) dependencies of PACKAGE. I bet you'll find that the "problem" from your perspective is not wine itself (or imagemagick itself), which may have a small list of dependencies that all see reasonable. Rather, one of those innocuous-sounding deps may need some huge set of libraries to support it. Consider that there are lots of independent pieces of reusable code instead of "the thing you want" containing everything in its single (and huge) binary...the code's all gotta be present and compiled, it's just an issue of where and how. "It's a large number of packages if you have a relatively bare-bones system", but that's how open-source is: each thing is a relatively small layer on top of several lower-level things (and so on down the chain). If you have never needed any of the lower-level things, they will all have to be installed in order to use some very high-level thing. Then when you need some other high-level thing, all those dependent libraries are just re-used. I just installed the full mozilla suite, and I had to install zero additional things (!) because all of its dependencies (and their dependencies, and so on) were already installed for other stuff I was using. The two cases at hand provide good examples actually. Imagemagick just needs a few image and font-rendering libraries, but one of those is written on top of several gnome packages, each of which has more gnome to support it. Conversely, is it really surprising that a whole Win32 emulation system involves graphics, sound, text, file-format support, system services, widgets, and security? dan
