I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for here. There isn't anything to stop fink from installing obsolete packages to satisfy dependencies. However, anything with obsolete dependencies is supposed to be updated to avoid that, and the messages about such packages are really intended to inform their maintainers. When a package is formally declared to be obsolete it shouldn't actually contain anything important. "fink cleanup --obsolete" will try to remove all of the obsolete packages on your system upon which which nothing else depends. You _don't_ want to try removing the .info files for obsolete packages, because often those share the .info file of the package which has rendered them obsolete. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
