Re: Failed: can't install package texlive-base-20240312-2

Hi Scott, 



I follow your procedure and check what fink thinks is system-perl
here it is: 

giuliano@FGs-MacBook-Pro:/Users/giuliano/Desktop> fink list system-perl
Information about 15391 packages read in 1 seconds.
 i   system-perl                  5.34.1-1              [virtual package representing perl]
 p   system-perl5341                                    [virtual package]

However, if I run fink self update, fink update-all I have an error


giuliano@FGs-MacBook-Pro:/Users/giuliano/Desktop> fink selfupdate

I will now run the git command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. The 'su' command will be used to run the git
command as the user 'giuliano'. After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then update the
other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su giuliano -c '/usr/bin/git fetch --quiet origin'
/usr/bin/su giuliano -c '/usr/bin/git checkout --quiet master'
/usr/bin/su giuliano -c '/usr/bin/git merge --ff-only --quiet origin/master'

The core packages have been updated. You should now update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

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

(1)     texlive-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation
(2)     texlive-nox-base: Base programs for a TeX Live installation

Pick one: [1] 
Can't resolve dependency "system-perl5303" for package "intltool40-0.51.0-1204" (no matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.
giuliano@FGs-MacBook-Pro:/Users/giuliano/Desktop> fink list system-perl
Information about 15391 packages read in 1 seconds.
 i   system-perl                  5.34.1-1              [virtual package representing perl]
 p   system-perl5341                                    [virtual package]
giuliano@FGs-MacBook-Pro:/Users/giuliano/Desktop> 
giuliano@FGs-MacBook-Pro:/Users/giuliano/Desktop> 


Fink thinks system-perl is 5.34.1-1, but the dependency asks for 5303
