Sounds good.  I pasted directly from the item on the news page, so
that's where the scariness came from.

Hi Alexander,

great work! One tiny remark:

This sounds as if Fink would replace a system component, i.e., it  
sounds quite scary. But we doN't really do that (or do we??). Also,  
while I like when people tell me *why* I have to perform certain steps  
during an upgrade, they can at the same time be distracting. And these  
explanations are missing in the other steps. So, why not just change  
this to:

  Run the command fink install perl588-core.

Or if you want to give some explanation, maybe:

  Run the command fink install perl588-core. This avoid  
potential issues with any packages installed by you which require this  
older version of Perl.



Cheers,
Max
