Did you run "fink -b selfupdate" first? This is needed, because this new "-b" stuff runs its own database which is different from the ones used by either fink, dpkg, or apt.
No, I had never run "fink -b selfupdate". I didn't see it under "man fink", so I didn't do it.
Perhaps fink should stop and tell the user to run "fink -b selfupdate" if he does a "fink -b install foo", and the new -b database isn' there.
"fink -b install foo" works great, now that I know the secret code to make it work.
Thanks for the assistance,
Kevin
