That's cool. Can I simply "fink build ghostscript" for dselect to be able to get to it? Or is it more involved?
Part of the problem I have is that replacing the old with the new seems to need to happen "all at once" - otherwise, I'll have to remove a truckload of packages before I can get the older ghostscript out of there. But I cant tell if there's a way to get the fink command line to do a simultaneous remove & install to replace one package with another, while realizing that the dependencies broken by the remove will be fixed by the install.
