Version of Desktop PowerPC that can install unstable software: Package manager version: 0.27.7 Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc Intel machine and laptop that do not see unstable packages: Package manager version: 0.24.26 Distribution version: 0.8.0.cvs powerpc Obviously, the Desktop has the newest version of fink. I must have downloaded an older copy of fink.
