I've been tempted in the past to abolish system-tetex and system-
ghostscript from fink, and I'm tempted again

I have made a new version of system-tetex which attempts to give better
advice to users, and put it in my experimental directory. Since I'm
*not* a user of Weirda's distribution, this is hard for me to test.
Seems to work (I don't use GWtex either, just for testing)
There have been a number of problems reported on the lists recently
with system-tetex, having to do with a missing libkpathsea.a file.
Apparently, some parts of teTeX in Gerben Weirda's distribution
(including this file) have been moved into a separate "developer

Following the David and Martin's suggestions I've tried to fix the
problem related to system-tetex that I've reported a couple of weeks
ago (tempus fugit!!! ;-), but
I'm still trying to get a consistent package for PyX without success.
I'll describe the entire situation hoping someone can help m

IMHO yes. Since system-tetex "Provides" tetex-base, you don't need to
mention it there. The dep
If your link line has "-lkpathsea", then a user who has tetex-dev installed
will get a link to libkpathsea.dylib, whereas a user with system-tetex
installed will get a link to libkpathsea.a . (The darwin linker prefers
the shared version whenever it can find it.)

It is not an omission that system-tetex does not provide tetex-dev.

Uhm... I'm getting a little bit confused here. Linking the kpathsea
library is exactly what I do with PyX, I don't have tetex-dev installed
(only system-tetex) and I've not seen any problem during compiling and
installing process. Could you explain this a little further?
Thanks,
Andrea.

system-tetex already "Provides" tetex-base, so you don't need this

Hi,
I've a problem with system-tetex. I'm the maintainer of pyx-py*
packages and it happens quite often to reinstall this packages (to
update them). Every time I try to do it I get the following error
message:
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install pyx-py23

I've just updated the system-tetex package, which I try to do very
infrequently. One of the new features is a much more robust
pre-install script.
I haven't been able to find a solution to the following problem: some
