10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 all share a common package description and
patchfile so that's no surprise.

Even after a "rm

That's rarely if ever necessary.

You're much better off running "fink index -f" first if you think you
have an incorrect  package description rather than removing files,
because fink normally uses a stored cache rather than the physical
files.  Occasionally there are situations where the cache doesn't get
updated even after the files change.

In this case, the package fails the md5 test because the patchfile got
updated without a corresponding update in the .info file.  The
appropriate thing to do in such cases is to contact the package
maintainer, since they are the ones who break and fix packages. :-)
(or in principle you could edit
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.info and change
the PatchFile-MD5 entry)

However, you probably don't want to do that, because I found some
problems with the patch (maintainer cc'ed). After changing the
PatchFile-MD5 I got:

[ -r /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.patch ]
sed 's|@PREFIX@|/sw|g' <
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/matplotlib-py.patch | patch -p1
