Yes, and I just did it again. It still reports the older version (unstable) of gnome-core.

fink list gnome-core reports

(i) gnome-core 2.0.3-3 GNOME convenience package
i gnome-core-dev 1.4.1-3 Common files for Gnome core apps
i gnome-core-shli 1.4.1-3 Common files for Gnome core apps

(is 2.0.3-3 the one in my local tree?)

Fink Commander reports only the binary and stable bundle-gnomes 1.4-13) but fink list bundle shows:

bundle-gnome 2.0.3-2 GNOME convenience package
bundle-kde 3.1-11 KDE convenience package: KDE 3.1
bundle-kde-i18n 3.1-1 KDE convenience package: all language files

Fair enough.

Just thought of something.  Did you give Fink Commander an "Update
Table" command after you reset your CVS directories (assuming that it
was running when you did the reset)?

Alexander-

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outdated,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-
