U - package was updated in CVS. This does *NOT* mean that it was updated on your system, only that the description was updated/is new R - package *description* was removed. again, this doesn't mean the package was removed (in the sense of "fink remove") ? - this file is not known by CVS. Happens a lot for package developers, and also happens if you manually copy a package say from unstable to stable or to local M - the package was modified locally, i.e. you (or somebody else with access to your system) modified the .info file All these messages are generated by the CVS tool. They only tell you about the .info files, and not about the packages status. If you want to learn about ths status of installed packages (and whether it might be possible to updat them), use the "fink list" command. Packages that are installed, but could be updated to a newer version are marked with "(i)", while up-to-date installed packages have an "i".
