An easy workaround is to use "fink fetch octave", then pick the "do nothing" option when it tells you the checksum doesn't match. Then "fink install octave" will give you the option to use the source that you have already fetched, which it doesn't do in the combined fetch-and-install operation.
I've cced the maintainer, since it's probably worth updating our octave to 2.9.13--I have a .info file for it (but my Fink box is offline so I can't actually post it). > <snip> > > Alexander K.
