I have a really dumb/simple question. When installing a particular package, how does one decide between a package labeled "package" and one labeled "package20"?

For instance, I want to build the glame stuff and it requires guile. But via fink, I have a choice between "guile" and "guile16" and the description of each sounds the same.

I realize the version is different, but is that it? And why change the name? Why not just replace the version as they come out so if you want guile, you install guile.

Thanks.

Jeff
