The big problem with turning off unstable is that you may have already
installed packages from unstable that depend on other packages from

Yes. I understand this now. For the time being, I've gone back to
unstable.
Another problem is that "fink reinstall" starts by using a .deb that's
on your system. "fink rebuild" avoids this, because it will use the
source and package description files appropriate to the stable tree.
I missed this information about "rebuild" previously. Good to know.
A suggestion that I have is to try Fink Commander, because it has the
option to display the latest stable version of all of the packages.
Then you can employ a versioned install, e.g.
fink install imlib-1.9.10-9
to downgrade everything out of unstable.
Thanks for this tip.
