I am trying to install the unstable gnucash on 10.3. Following some
advice posted here a couple days ago, to overcome various problems I
am trying to install its dependencies one at a time.
Somehow FinkCommander lost my preferences setting for unstable and
installed a bunch of stable stuff again. Then I reset it to stable,
did a SelfUpdate-CVS and update-all. Since then I've been using fink
and apt-get commands in Terminal.
My package system seems to be broken, in particular I can't get the
unstable crypto packages. I have done both apt-get update
"apt-get update" is completely irrelevant to your ability to access the
unstable tree.
and fink scanpackages.
I'm sure the following is a common problem, but I'm not that clueful
so I don't know how to fix it. Can you advise me? Thanks!
There *is* an unstable gnome-vfs-ssl-dev according to the Package
search at http://fink.sourceforge.net/ it's version 1.0.5-30.
jacob:/Users/mike root# apt-get install gnome-vfs-ssl-dev
gnome-vfs-ssl-shlibs
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package gnome-vfs-ssl-dev has no available version, but exists in the
database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the
contents
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
gnome-vfs-dev
W: Couldn't stat source package list file: unstable/crypto Packages
(/sw/var/lib/apt/lists/_sw_fink_dists_unstable_crypto_binary-darwin-
powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: Couldn't stat source package list file: unstable/main Packages
(/sw/var/lib/apt/lists/_sw_fink_dists_unstable_main_binary-darwin-
powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

The error message that you're getting _should_ be fixed with "fink
scanpackages"
However, the more fundamental error is that you _cannot_ use "apt-get"
to get unstable packages on Fink:
