[Fink-users] tetex does not install

[Gerfried K. <ku...@ph...>]

Hi

On a brand new iMac OS X 10.5.7
after installing fink the next task was to install tetex. It failed  
after a lot of texts output  with
some thing like

/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--install):
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
  tetex-base
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package tetex-base-3.0-1005


I tried  tetex and tetex-base but ended with an incomplete installation.
fink cannot install gimp for that reason.

Since I had done this kind of installation on 3 more Mac systems  
before  (over the last two years) without
any glitch, I'm at a loss and appreciate any help.
If I missed the answer in the archive, I tried.

Thanks
Gerfried
