Sorry, I don't understand: Where does this talk about the *bindist*? It says "In 0.4.0-stable:..." and "In current-stable:...", which is one and the same and concerns the package descriptions. If one of these is meant to mean the *bindist*, then there is a bug, indeed, but it is not restricted to php, it affects all packages that were in stable at the time of the 0.4.0 release but are not in the bindist. Actually, I see a real bug in another one of the numerous package databases, and this is in the program apt-cache: "apt-cache dump" mentions all packages that are available as binary packages, but also all packages that have ever been available to your system as binary packages at some moment after the Big Bang. The result is that FinkCommander, who uses "apt-cache dump", shows a lot of packages available as binary packages which in reality aren't (It should use "apt-cache dumpavail" instead.) Just try "apt-cache dump | grep Package: -A1" and look at those packages that have no "Version:" line after the "Package:" line. I still don't see, though, how php got into the apt-cache. Has it been available as a binary at some time in the past? I certainly didn't compile it, but I see it in apt-cache dump, although not in apt-cache dumpavail. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Oh, it's good to be a geek. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
