Hi everyone, Following a "sudo fink update-all", I was greeted with the following (which left me scratching my head):

[Y/n] n This is an EMBOSS update: (i) emboss 6.3.1-101 Molecular Biology Open Software Suite on: Darwin 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23 18:28:53 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 Question: when (or more importantly, why) did EMBOSS suddenly require the installation of (all of) 263 dependencies, including what appears to be all of GNOME?
