The error is pretty much what it says: there's a file in common between the updated gtk+2-dev and gail17. I don't even show gail17 among my listed packages currently on 10.5.5, so nothing ought to depend on it (please let us know if something still does on your system). You ought to be able just to remove that and then update gtk+2-dev, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
