Issues with Specific Packages

Binary Distribution

Package	Distro(s)	Symptom	Cause	Solution
ethereal-0.10.9-11	Fink-0.7.2 binary distro	Fails to run (warning about missing gdk-pixbuf.loaders file)	Outdated binary package list	1. run apt-get update to update your package list 2. run apt-get upgrade to install new ethereal-00.10.12-11 package
	Fink-0.8.0 binary distro		Missing dependency on gtk+2	install gtk+2
etherape-0.9.1-1	Fink-0.7.2 binary distro	missing executable	Didn't get filtered out because builds continue even when executable doesn't link.	Install from source
	Fink-0.8.0 binary distro

Source Distribution

Package	OS + tree	Symptom	Cause	Solution
kdelibs3-3.4.3-x	10.3/unstable and 10.4/unstable	Fails during apidox generation	doxygen-1.4 is flaky?	downgrade via fink install doxygen-1.3.4-4
xorg and xfree86	10.4 intel	fc-cache fails after compile, possibly causing dpkg-lockwait to fail	bindist packages are built using Apple's X11 and there are some incompatibilities with xorg and xfree86	No known non-voodoo fixes.
