I couldn't see this in the docs. I am not sure what you mean this to do ... fink reinstall will reinstall any installed package, no matter if it was installed via apt-get or fink. The reason I would need this is that I am compiling my Fink stuff on a another machine and then use apt-get to install it here. On the other machine I ran your little script to detect the 50.0.0 dependencies and ran fink rebuild on the packages detected. Ah, so what you want is not apt-get reinstall but more something like apt-get refetch-and-install :-) Now I would like to get the updated packages over onto this machine. But the version numbers did not change, so the only way I see is to use apt-get remove followed by apt-get install. But due to dependency following, apt-get wants to remove practically my whole fink installation, which I would rather avoid. This is also non-reversible: apt-get remove A wants to remove all packages that depend on A, but apt-get install A does not reinstall these others, of course. Yeah, so I'd suggest this: man apt-get :-) I did that mysself just now. There is an --reinstall option. Alternatively, you could just use fink reinstall bal. Now you only need to make sure that apt-get redownloads the .deb. You could force that by rm'ing the local copy of the .deb, I am not sure if apt-get has an option to force a download.

Yes, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Works, too. OTOH, this does not work for me: Alternatively, you could just use fink reinstall bal. Now you only need to make sure that apt-get redownloads the .deb. You could force that by rm'ing the local copy of the .deb, I am not sure if apt-get has an option to force a download. fink reinstall starts downloading source tarballs. apt-get seems to remove its .debs immediately, maybe that's a config option somewhere. But apt-get install without the --reinstall option just says it's sorry, but I already have the latest version. Thanks again. -- Martin ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
