I just checked in a quick fix. I haven't tested it extensively but it seems to work now, I appreciate testing and feedback (bad or good).
If this new fix causes other problems I think it best to just undo my speedup patch for the time being. I am busy moving into a new home this week and have limited time for e-mails. If anyone finds a better alternate solution please share.
:)
I'm sorry for the problem.

Subject: [Fink-devel] Regression caused by indexing changes
One of the last changes to speed up re-index causes a regression. Now if I enter e.g. "fink list -o" when my index is dirty, I get this:
fink list -o
Fink has detected that your package cache is out of date and needs an
update, but does not have privileges to modify it. Please re-run fink as
root, for example with a "fink index" command.
Information about 291 packages read in 1 seconds.
Uhm... what? That's definitly not right!
Either we should do it as it used to be (that is, build the cache, but simply not store it), with the warning message as it is.
Or we should use the existing (dirty) index and print out a warning that the index needs to be rebuilt.
But only reading a fraction of the real index is of course bad.
Cheers,
Max
