Or in yet other words: CVS (= not released) versions of the Fink package manager are to be used at your own risk, and usually are only interesting for develeopers, not for "normal" users. No support will be given for problems with it (of course we will still fix bug reports if possible, but don't be suprised if certain things don't work. <PSEUDO-LEGAL> > >BTW, in a previous message, I said that "fink cleanup" cleans out >obsolete debs.

It will do it eventually, but right now it only cleans the .deb files. >The subroutine in question (cmd_cleanup) is contained in Fink;:Engine.pm.
