Unless you specify an explicit version on the command-line, fink always picks the highest known version. That would be foobar-1.1 in your example; since it's not available in binary, the -b flag would have no effect.

Darn, then it's just about worthless. Would there be any value in submitting a formal feature request for the kind of "resolve dependencies with binaries if possible" option I'm suggesting?
