Hello, 

The updating of texlive has an issue of dependency of "perl5303-core”. 
While waiting for a solution to be found, I have the problem that I cannot update fink: 
'fink update-all’ stops always at the dependency of "perl5303-core”, so I cannot 
update fink.  (see below). 

Could you tell me how to run 'fink update-all’ without the dependency "perl5303-core" for package "data-optlist-pm5303-0.114-1” 
blocks everything? 

Many thanks 

	Giuliano

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'

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 "perl5303-core" for package "data-optlist-pm5303-0.114-1" (no matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.
