/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/sci/emboss-plplot6-shlibs_6.1.0- +3_darwin-i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/sw/lib/EMBOSS/libeplplot.3.dylib', which is also in package emboss-plplot5-shlibs Packaging bug: having more than one package supply a runtime .dylib file is always a recipe for disaster. That's one type of mess that is avoided if packages strictly follow our Shlibs policy. I'm working on fixing package, should be uploaded within a day or so. > Is there a way i can just go in manually and rename or remove a few things > so that fink can continue? Maybe the original overlapping file that was > causing the issues? You can't "just remove or rename" the file, dpkg tracks what it remembers installing rather than checking your actual files. One hammer would be to 'fink list -t emboss' (and/or 'dpkg -l \*emboss\*') and then 'dpkg --purge' all that are installed in any form. If you get an error that doing this would break a dependency, then 'dpkg --purge' the package that has that dependency first. You will walk up the tree, eventually getting a clean slate on which you should be able to "fink install" what you want. dan -- Daniel Macks [email protected] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
