In preparation for moving some of my stuff to stable, I just installed (on intel) the fink package (having moved aside my /sw).
I've issued fink-selfupdate (rsync) fink scanpackages fink update-all and this is what I am (and presumably a new user is) greeted with: % fink update-all Information about 2066 packages read in 0 seconds. The following 4 packages will be installed or updated: gettext gettext-dev gettext-tools ncurses-shlibs The following additional package will be installed: libgettextpo2-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Reading buildlock packages... Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies! Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to fix things by running: fink scanpackages apt-get update apt-get install gettext-dev=0.10.40-25 gettext=0.10.40-25 Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies I then issued sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and that fixes it, but if I put myself in the shoes of a newbie, who might not even know to prefix the above suggestion with sudo, I can see why people find this daunting.
