[Fink-users] fink list flag interpretation

[Viv Kendon]

If I do fink list ghostscript on one of my machines, part of 
the output says:

 p   ghostscript      8.15-1       Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
 i   ghostscript-...  8.11-2       Standard fonts for Ghostscript
     ghostscript-nox  7.04-3       Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
 i   ghostscript6     6.01-4       Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01
man fink tells me the 'p' means:
p    a virtual package provided by a package that is
                       installed
but surely that's not right in this case -- I have 
ghostscript6 installed (because I'm still hitting problems 
with gs8 every time I try it, though less than I used to) 
but I also have ghostscript 8 built so the deb is there,
though it is out of date, it is 8.14-1

/sw/fink/debs/ghostscript_8.14-1_darwin-powerpc.deb -> 
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/ghostscript_8.14-1_darwin-powerpc.deb

I don't have any third party ghostscripts on my system 
(except the ones hidden in acrobat etc..)
