Re: how to remove ghc-text 1.2.1.3-2

Hello,

Thanks for your suggstion. 
I tried to remove ghc-text by following your suggestion and encoutered
another mess. I can't figure out when this chain of mess ends, so
I am thinking of uninstall Fink after copying the entire /sw to another volume.

Thanks for your input anyway.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
