Ben:

(Note: I am running OS 10.2.3)

1.  Upon running `fink -V', I receive this:

        Package manager version: 0.11.0
        Distribution version: 0.5.0a.cvs

2.  I've tried to update fink by running `fink selfupdate-cvs'
    which has worked in the past. The output of the command
    ends like this:

        ....
        pkg storable-pm version ###
        pkg storable-pm version 1.0.14-1
        No packages to install.

        The core packages have been updated. You should now
        update the other packages using commands like 'fink
        update-all'.

3.  I guess that looks good even though it _always_ says that
    "the core packages have been updated." Then I try `fink
    update-all' and it ends like:

        pkg libwww-shlibs  version ###
        pkg libwww-shlibs  version 5.3.2-4
        pkg netcat  version ###
        pkg netcat  version 1.10-4
        No packages to install.

4.  The version of xfree86-base still remains out of date:

         i   xfree86-base   4.2.0.1-1   XFree86 libraries, util ...

5.  Here's a dump of my /sw/etc/fink.conf:
