[Fink-users] How to handle "Error: Pathname collision on case-insensitive filesystems"

[Peter D. <Pet...@Fr...>]

Hello!

I try to prepare the INFO and PATCH files for ImageMagick-6.7.5-6. The  
builds go fine until this:

	- Depends line is: imagemagick2-shlibs (= 6.7.5.6-1), lcms-shlibs (>=  
1.11-1), libtiff-shlibs (>= 3.6.1-3), libjasper.1-shlibs (>=  
1.900.1-1), libpng14-shlibs, libdjvulibre21-shlibs (>= 3.5.21-1003),  
libjpeg8-shlibs, fontconfig2-shlibs (>= 2.4.1-1), expat1-shlibs (>=  
2.0.0-1), bzip2-shlibs (>= 1.0.2-2), libxml2-shlibs (>= 2.6.30-1),  
libiconv (>= 1.11-1), freetype219-shlibs (>= 2.3.5-1), libjbig-shlibs,  
ghostscript | ghostscript, openexr, libwmf-shlibs (>= 0.2.8.4-2), x11- 
shlibs, darwin (>= 9-1)

The assumption that the build is happening on a case-insensitive  
filesystem (HFS+) is wrong, it is happening on HFSX. And there are no  
other files in the archive with names similar to those mentioned which  
just use the same letters but in a diferent case. So really no danger  
of collisions.

This happens on my PPC based system with Mac OS X 10.5.8. On my intel  
based system with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and simple HFS+ the message is not  
shown (and I think the INFO files are equal).
