Hello,

I'm trying to install the new version of matplotlib-py26, but I get  
the following error about it trying to overwrite files that belong to  
dateutil:

Unpacking matplotlib-py26 (from .../matplotlib-py26_0.99.0-1_darwin-
i386.deb) ...
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-
darwin-i386/sci/matplotlib-py26_0.99.0-1_darwin-i386.deb (--install):
  trying to overwrite `/sw/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dateutil/
__init__.py', which is also in package dateutil-py26
/sw/bin/dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
  /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/sci/matplotlib-
py26_0.99.0-1_darwin-i386.deb
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1

Is this a packaging bug?  I've tried removing dateutil but matplotlib-
py26 depends on it.

For the record, this is running on a macbook pro, 10.5.8:

$ fink -V
Package manager version: 0.29.9
Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Wed Sep 16 13:14:46 2009, 10.5,  
i386

Also, if I want to request that a package is updated to the latest  
upstream version, where is the best place to send that request?  I've  
tried contacting the maintainer listed on the page for the package,  
but I typically don't get a response.  Should I file a bug in  
sourceforge?

I'm particularly looking for updates to jed (fink: 0.99-16, upstream:  
0.99-18) and gdl (fink: 0.9pre6, upstream: 0.9rc3).

Thank you in advance,
John
