Brian Lenihan emailed me that he had the same problem and solved it by running a fink rebuild python23. I had thought of this, but I had not yet tried it. I did the rebuild, and now I no longer have the continuous updating problem of python23-shlibs. So, for Claus and anyone else with this update problem, just rebuild python23 package and see what happens. Remember to do a fink index afterwards though or you will continue to have the update problem with python23-shlibs.

I too was annoyed by this. I looked at the Fink perl scripts and couldn't find anything that accounted for this. So then I did a fink rebuild python23 and the problem went away.

I am still having the same problem. Claus wrote about this several days ago, and someone said they thought it was a bug in the fink package manager, but we are up to fink 0.17.0 now, and this problem is still here. Perhaps it is something else? I do not have this problem with the python23 or python23-socket files. They show the Epoch 1 number, but do not try to continuously reinstall themselves during an update-all. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
