Hi,
I am running fink on a OS 10.4 system on a Macbook Pro. I had xemacs
previously installed, and apparently when I ran a 'fink selfupdate' earlier
this week, it updated my xemacs installation to a new version which no longer
works. After some trial and error, I discovered that fink now wants to install
by default the unstable version of xemacs 1:21.4.20-1002, instead of the stable
version 1:21.4.15-1002 which is listed for system 10.4/i386, according to
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/xemacs
This happens whether I install the binary package, or install from source.
This new version of xemacs crashes immediately when starting it from an X11
window. On my other computer, I did not do a fink selfupdate, and so I still
have 1:21.4.15-1002 which works fine.
I have checked that my /sw/etc/fink.conf does say "Distribution: 10.4"
and that it is the i386 version of xemacs that gets installed by fink. So
there should not be any confusion about the system I am running fink on. Just
somehow the fink package database is not correct.
Is it possible with fink to re-install the old working version. How do I go
about reconfiguring fink to do this? Or do I need to ask one of the fink
maintainers to update the database entry for xemacs to reflect the fact that
1.21.4.20-1002 is still unstable. The website seems to have the correct
information, but my installed version of fink gets it wrong....
Thanks,
Aaron
