Re: [Fink-users] fink update-all does not work

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Giuliano,

The error message seems to say something is wrong with your buildlocks and fink is running something that is using the build lock data base.

First make sure that no other instances of fink are running.

Then try to clear any existing locks.

“fink cleanup --buildlocks”

Maybe someone else on the list can help with this buildlock problem.

A working apt would definitely be very useful, and this has all been discussed at length in
https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/issues/1196 , but it seems none of the few core
maintainers have the time or resources to work on this and get it reviewed.
Fink’s version 0.5.4 is decades old, and rather hopeless to get built on arm64, though
on x86_64 should still be workable adding the `SetCFLAGS: -std=gnu90` patch as
described in that thread. I don’t have a recent system with Intel arch to test on though.

I did look into getting the (almost) current version 2.4 to build, but build system has also
changed completely since the EOL versions.

If patching the current apt version does not work, manually running something like

fink remove $(fink list pm5303 | awk '$1==“i”/{print $2}’)

would probably indeed be your best bet.

Re: [Fink-users] fink update-all does not work

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Use Fink to get the list of installed perl 5.30.3 packages and it is not so long.  I think I pared the list down below.  You can ignore all the files in fink.old obviously.

fink list -i pm5303 | grep -v virtual

Should list the non-virtual packages for that version of perl.  You should also remove perl5303 and perl5303-core.  Basically you want to switch over everything to perl 5.34.1.

So for each of those 24 packages below, install the 5341 version, then remove the 5303 version since that should be a substitute.  Then remove perl5303 and perl5303-core which should now have no dependencies.

This is why a clean reinstall of fink and then new install of your top level packages is a good way to update after a macOS update since it can change the versions of perl and/or python required.

Hi Scott,

the list of -pm5303   found with find /opt/sw2/ -name *-pm5303* is pretty long (below).
Should I remove all of them?

Many thanks

I think you have to manually remove all files with -pm5303 extensions.  I used to list them with fink and then do one big remove.  it would only remove the top files, but repeated application of that command would work it way through things.

I have installed the pm53411, but to remove all the pm5303, I need apt, and there is an installation error that I will report in the next email.

Sorry for the delay, I am on travel and work.

It seems your system has perl 5.34.1.

So you have some legacy Perl 5.30.3 packages installed.  You should find them, install the 5.34.1 packages and then remove the 5.30.3 packages.

fink list -i pm5303

Should list all installed perl 5.30.3 packages that need to be replaced.

Guliano,

What OS are you using?  The version of perl should match that OS, I think Perl 5.30.3 is for OS 14.  If you have updated your OS to 15, you need to reinstall all your perl modules for version 5.34.1.

If you list your possible perl installations what do you get?

fink list perl\*core

This is why it is useful to do a fresh fink install when upgrading the OS for a major version.

Guilliano,

I reported the issue with apt and recursive removal using fink awhile ago.  The response from the fink-experts was that they did not use apt much.

I think you have to manually remove all files with -pm5303 extensions.  I used to list them with fink and then do one big remove.  it would only remove the top files, but repeated application of that command would work it way through things.

[Fink-users] Failed: phase compiling: apt-0.5.4-1061 failed

[Franchetti, G. Dr. <G.F...@gs...>]

Dear all, 

I need to install apt to remove packages that have dependencies (all pm5303 packages). 
However, the installation of apt fails. See below. 

Can you have a look? 

Many thanks

[Fink-users] updating texlive prevents 'fink update-all'.

[Franchetti, G. Dr. <G.F...@gs...>]

Hello, 

The updating of texlive has an issue of dependency of "perl5303-core”. 
While waiting for a solution to be found, I have the problem that I cannot update fink: 
'fink update-all’ stops always at the dependency of "perl5303-core”, so I cannot 
update fink.  (see below). 

Could you tell me how to run 'fink update-all’ without the dependency "perl5303-core" for package "data-optlist-pm5303-0.114-1” 
blocks everything? 

Many thanks 

	Giuliano

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:

Re: [Fink-users] Unable to find package perl5303-core

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

James,

Each package has a separate maintainer.  In this case the fink-core group.  So this listserv is the best way to contact them.

You can see the maintainer by using the command ”fink dumpinfo perl5303-core” but in this case it seems you don’t have the package.

You might want to try fink self-update.  My perl5303-core package is dated 5/16 or a day later than when you did your last self-update.

Check the packages available with “fink list perl\*-core"

14.4+ has perl5341-core, see https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/277 <https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/277>
so you’d need the 14.4 distribution from that PR plus all the updates to  *-pm5341 packages,
which are still a WIP.

[James K. <jk...@nd...>]

Sorrry!  I saw your messsages on tex which I thought included this package.  I’ll look more caareful later.

I’m running macOS 14.7.4

Please don't send messages directly to me. This is not my package.

What release of macOS 14 are you on? perl5303-core represents the 
system-perl on macOS14 and so it should be present automatically, but 
there's a good chance apple changed something.

Debian updated their tarball and deleted the previous version. I've 
updated to use their latest release.
Also, no need to post both here and in the github tracker.

[Fink-users] Can't resolve dependency "system-perl5303" blocks every update

Hello, 

The failure to resolve the dependency blocks every update-all.  (see below) 
Does it mean that I cannot update fink anymore?

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Robert,

This isn’t the same problem since Giuliano was running macOS 14.X.  There is a intltool for macOS 15.X,

Check the distribution in /opt/sw/etc/fink.config since it might be the same problem in that you updated your OS without a corresponding update to the config file.

It should be 15.0 for Sequoia which should have an intltool40 package.  It seems the 14.0 and 14.4 versions are missing.  You may have to hand edit the config file or rebuild and reinstall fink.

However, you are running a beta OS (15.5 is not out) and there are no guarantees for that.  You are going to have to provide support since none of the core folks are running beta OS version.

It appears that Perl 5.34.1 is the system perl for macOS 15.5 which then should work but YMMV.

-Scott

Re: [Fink-users] selfupdate failure

[Scott H. <sha...@us...>]

Run “fink configure” and ask to change the “mirrors”, and it will have an option to select mirrors last or first.

The other solution which I use is to use “fink selfupdate-git” which will change your method from rsync which uses the fink mirrors to the git function which uses GitHub.

HTH,

No; just needs the same content with a `Distribution: 14.4` field (that’s the actual version, see https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/277)
but it can only be named intltool40-14.4.info or intltool40.info <http://intltool40.info/>, thus the need for all the different files for all distributions.

It also depends on `xml-parser-pm%type_pkg[systemperl]`, so there’s probably no way to make that version-agnostic.

It was added in https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/commit/1698c5f , but quite possible inject.pl only installs the
files for the respective distribution.
I have a number of similar perlmods updates for 15.0 in https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/1181 ,
possibly intltool40-15.0 should be added there, and then the same be added for 14.4.

Dear Hanspeter,
fink selfupdate is still not working. How can I switch to mirrors-last?
Thanks,                          L. Z.
