I encountered a problem doing this:

fink list openmotif4

fink remove openmotif4-bin
Password:
Information about 14745 packages read in 1 seconds.
Reading buildlock packages...
/opt/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait --remove openmotif4-bin
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of openmotif4-bin:
 geant4.9 depends on openmotif4-bin (>= 2.3.4-13).

dpkg: error processing package openmotif4-bin (--remove):
 dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
 openmotif4-bin
### execution of /opt/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
ERROR: Can't remove package(s). If the above error message mentions dependency problems, you can try
  fink remove --recursive openmotif4-bin
This will attempt to remove the package(s) specified as well as ALL packages that depend on it.


Can I do the recursive remove or will that cause other problems?
