Hello, William. It looks like the documentation file provided by the
developers of ucblogo (ucblogo.info) doesn't have the necessary INFO-
DIR-SECTION and {START, END}-INFO-DIR-ENTRY fields. Since this
particular package is maintained by Matthias Neeracher, so I'm CC'ing
this reply to him. As package maintainers are ultimately responsible
for their packages, we recommend users to send bug reports to both the
maintainer and one of the {fink-users, fink-beginners} mailing lists.
In order to find out who is the maintainer of a given package, run the
fink info command, as in
fink info ucblogo
None <fink-devel...> is a particular case. It means that the package
doesn't have a maintainer, so it usually suffices to send an e-mail to
the fink-devel address alone.
Cheers,
