Interesting -- so I did a clean install on 10.11 (I never even had a machine 
with 10.9 or 10.10, as I just skipped those OS X versions), and said yes to 
everything -- including bandits -- I was a bit surprised that there already was 
one for 10.11 and thought "wow, great work, folks".

Yes, there is such an entry. Bingo.

Bingo, that's what happened. I actually never knew about that tool, but when I 
upgraded to 10.11 a short time ago, I thought to do it all properly and thus 
followed the instructions on our website.

First thin I noticed was that http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php 
does not yet list 10.11.

But then on
  http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php
it does list 10.11, and explicitly recommends that install tool. Which I 
dutifully used.

So, I am pretty sure it will happen to other people... Can we get that fixed? 
Either by fixing that tool, or by not recommending it in the first place?



Cheers,
Max
