For further diagnosis of your problem, it's necessary to know the output of "fink --version" on both your systems. It sounds like your PowerPC is (or was) on 10.4 and using the now-deceased 10.4-transitional tree, given that you can't update to a fink that knows how to enable unstable via "fink configure", and that you've now confused your Intel machine by pointing it to that tree. -- Alexander K.
