Thanks again for the response and suggestions.
I have tried (many times) fink index. The last attempt was to use the
instructions from Fink's FAQs for resetting the CVS directories:
sudo find /sw/fink -type d -name 'CVS' -exec rm -rf {} \;
followed by a fink selfupdate-cvs. gnome-core-2.0.3-3 now appears in my
fink list. Curiously, Fink Commander reports my gnome-core is outdated,
but the unstable version it reports is 1.4.1-3, not 2.03-3.
That's not surprising. I'd imagine that Fink Commander gets its "stable" and "unstable" versions by checking those trees only, without checking local.I had previously moved the copy of bundle-gnome-2.0.3-2 from the unstable tree to local. That was the only way it would show up in fink list.This almost sounds like you don't have the unstable tree enabled. Double-check /sw/etc/fink.conf -- it's possible that it got reset by FinkCommander.I am concerned that these anomalies in the list indicate problems which
would affect installation of Gnome 2 if attempted.

O.k., I'm stuck. I've looked at the faqs, etc. and I'm still confused.
Problem: bundle-gnome version 2 does not appear in my package
database (fink list). I do have the unstable paths specified in my
fink
configuration. Moreover, if I do a find, bundle-gnome-2.0.3-2.info
shows up where it's supposed to. If I move the
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/gnome folder out of the way, a
new
gnome folder with bundle-gnome-2.0.3-2.info is created when I
selfupdate-cvs.
Background: I did a selfupdate-cvs a couple of days ago, followed by
update-all. I didn't realize gnome-bundle-2 had been added and my
gnome
installation became unusable. Because I depend on gnumeric, the quick
and dirty solution was to replace my /sw directory with a
three-day-old
backup. Gnome (old gnome) runs fine, but the problem described above
is
troubling.
I (to a fault) regularly do the selfupdate-cvs/update-all routine.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions which would result in repairing
the
(apparently) damaged package database.
Thanks-
