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

I have the same problem as Giuliano in that intltool is not present in my Sequoia 15.5 distribution and causes dependency problems:

Mac-mini ~ % fink list -t perl5 system-perl intltool; fink --version

There is a separate build of intltool for different distributions.  For some reason I see only a OS version 15 package on my OS 15 / Intel system.
