OK. The situation is clearer for me now. You've got two separate issues here. Let's decouple them. 1) The "inconsistent dependencies" error. Use sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends tetex-base to get rid of that (to avoid removing a bunch of other stuff, which is what apt-get would do). 2) Now you should be able to use fink install texlive-texmf to clear the dpkg gripes. After that, you should be able to install texlive or texlive-nox. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3ZkJcACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8bNACglgT0n74k6jH3LRlUirDG3LOZ MhAAnieR8WygEdp005Mjq6nGn3GU7XVz =owGw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
