Then my best recommendations are: 1) Don't use "fink update-all". You can use something like for pkg in `fink list -ot | cut -f2` ; do fink install $pkg ; done which will step through your outdated packages and install them (and dependencies) individually. Whatever package needs ppl9 will be skipped. -or- 2) Figure out what package needs ppl9 first, e.g. via fink list -ut | cut -f2 | xargs fink dumpinfo -finfofile | grep "info$" | sort | uniq | cut -d: -f2 | xargs grep -l ppl9 You can then remove it, do an update-all, but NOT install the current version. You can reinstall your currently installed version via sudo apt-get install <package> provided that you still have the .deb file on your machine. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
