I did sudo fink index -f sudo fink selfupdate sudo fink install tetex-base and, after a much shorter amount of time than last time, I got the error message: /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: tetex-base ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package tetex-base-3.0-1006 Best wishes, -- Peter Young *==================================================================* * Address : Physics Department, University of California, * * : Santa Cruz, CA 95064 * * e-mail : [email protected] * * WWW : http://physics.ucsc.edu/~peter * * Tel. : (831) 459-4151, messages (2329), Fax : (831) 459-3043 * *==================================================================* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
