If that is indeed what happens, then fink could be modified to avoid this.
On the other hand, we make no claims that Fink will work properly if you introduce executables into the system area that aren't part of the OS. fink resets the PATH when it operates, so executables that are in, for example, $HOME/bin, won't be visible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
