It was someting of a leap in my mind to presume that 'fink install foo
bar' where foo depends:bar would call dpkg -i for bar before foo,
given that they are both installed by the end of the fink run.
Testing, however, finds that fink does the Right Thing here. Objection
withdrawn. So why do you *ever* do '-x xfontconfig' in your *Script?
