Re: Fink not installing imagemagick on macOS 10.15.4

> The issue is that Apple keeps changing things around when they put out new Command Line Tools versions, so fink reports a 0-0 version for that.  At this point, I think we’re safe to remove the >= 6.2 qualifier, since we don’t support anything earlier than 10.9.  For a quick and dirty workaround, try editing <Your Fink Tree>/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/gcc9.info and feel free to take out the whole “xcode >= 6.2” in the BuildDepends line.

Ok, I needed sudo to delete that one line:

/opt/sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/languages
sudo vi gcc9.info

I removed the line:

        xcode (>= 6.2)

Result:
---

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

(1)     ghostscript: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
(2)     ghostscript-esp: Ghostscript with better CJK and cups support

Pick one: [1]
Can't resolve dependency "xcode (>= 4.6)" for package "gcc9-9.3.0-1" (no matching
packages/versions found)

Hmm.  SplitOff2 in the same file has
                xcode (>= 4.6)

and InfoTest has
                xcode (<< 4.7) | apple-gdb

Now what?

> I’m also curious what exactly wants to drag gcc9 into the imagemagick build chain.

I don't know how to answer that.  I'll need exact instructions.
