There as a huge list of dependencies on gail17, basically everything I had installed with fink. I decided to do a complete uninstall and start from scratch to clean out the filth. I think my mistake was doing an update-all when unstable was enabled. I still haven't gotten things to work correctly after the fresh install but my problems are different now.
