(From own painful experience, but with a different package): If it still does not want to install texlive-texmf, then the only way out is to edit the dpkg database manually. You need to edit the file /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status and to remove the whole paragraph related to texlive-texmf, that is, the text starting from the line Package: texlive-texmf up to the blank line before the next "Package:" line. In addition you have to delete all files with names starting with "texlive-texmf" in /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/. After that, "fink install texlive-texmf" should succeed, at least the "very bad inconsistent state" is no longer there. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
