I just updated to 10.2-gcc3.3 as well. One thing you need to do is make sure you run
/sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl (See FAQ Q5.25). This will update your /sw/etc/fink.conf to
point your distribution to 10.2-gcc3.3 instead of 10.2 (or whatever you had previously).
I does a bunch of other things as well, so don't just edit fink.conf.
Second, I looked up gaim on the Fink website and it shows 0.71 is the latest stable version
for 10.2-gcc3.3 and 0.74 is the latest unstable version. 0.75 is only available for 10.3.
I was making the same mistake, reading the top line as the latest available version when
I only had the 0.6.2 (i.e. 10.2) tree and wondering why Fink wouldn't upgrade my
packages. I just completed the process of switching over to the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree, thanks
to some much appreciated help from this group.
