I came across a patch that has something to do with the subject. This
patch was introduced almost a year ago into qt3-3.0.5-6 and was removed
(forgotten?) in the update to qt-3.1. Here it is (from qt3-3.0.5-6.patch):

Why didn't you just use fink install pwlib?
Note: The update to the December 2002 Dev Tools is counterrecommended
for Fink. Check out the first news item at http://fink.sourceforge.net/

Dear Yarden,
A number of us are working on getting things ready for Panther, but due to
the NDA we don't discuss the details on the mailing list. However, you
can find a number of Panther-ready packages in various parts of the
experimental CVS tree.
Of course, one of the issues is simply that,
Hi Max. I need your help in figuring out the correct strategy for upgrading

There are two issues, which I will keep separate so as not to confuse things.
As I've mentioned before, the major version number in libintl.dylib has
changed in recent versions of gettext, so we need a new

What happens if two packages specify the same user? Even if this is OK,
what happens if they give different info about that user?

Well, we need a bit more information to be able to help you; specifically,
what was the error message you received?
Also, I recommend that the thread be moved over to fink-beginners or

Am I missing something?
I don't understand why you have a Pass field at all. Default passwords
are evil, and are an obvious route for attackers. Perhaps Pass should
be a flag to indicate that Fink should prompt the user for a password?
That's still rotten, IMHO, but infinitely better
I still haven't looked at how debian handles this problem either, and I
agree that a default password in a public clear text file is a bad
idea, specially if the user needs a valid shell. That is why i figure
fink could build it's own pass but then there would be no way of
knowing the pass

Why change the default order, name:pass:desc:home:shell? This leads to
unnecessary confusion. And group:pass:members.
I'll second Chris; Why a password field at all? All the users Fink
defines so far are non-login users that have '*' as password.

In reading through the gcc 3.3 release notes, I saw something that
might explain some of our issues with building packages on Panther (and
possibly Jaguar with the xcode update). They had this note:

no to mention what new fink features will be offered in the panther
