Hi,

Fink's scribus packages have been in hibernation for a couple of years now. I myself haven't touched them for at least 2 years. I didn't know whether anyone is still interested in installing scribus from fink, knowing that the current versions 1.4.6 and 1.5.3 exist as dmg packages from the scribus developers.

One of the motivations for keeping fink packages was to have an X11 version, but I don't think I would want to keep this one up to date, and no one asked for it. For the developer version 1.5.3, I don't think an X11 version is even possible (absence of qt5-x11).

Are you really interested in using scribus from Fink? I guess I could try to upgrade scribus-aqua to 1.4.6, but if your motivation is only to get rid of non-building packages, then it is probably better to kill the scribus packages altogether.

Hello again,

This issue remains unresolved. I'd be happy to test if scribus-aqua will build 
with one of the existing boost versions, if given instruction on how to do so.

Thanks,
Sean

Hello all,

It appears that the MacOS 10.12 branch of Fink has a problem. The package 
scribus-aqua-1.4.5-1 depends on boost1.53.systempython, and that package is 
nowhere to be found in a list of fink apropos boost. I don't know whether the 
solution is to change the dependency a higher version of boost, or try to bring 
in the older boost version.

sudo fink install scribus-aqua

Can't resolve dependency "boost1.53.systempython" for package
"scribus-aqua-1.4.5-1" (no matching packages/versions found)
