Here is the output after running the command "fink list-o". To me it
doesn't seem to have much relevance on the subject but I am sure thoes more
experienced will gain some information from it.
fink list -o
Information about 1307 packages read in 11 seconds.
(i) arts 1.1.2-3 KDE - analog realtime synthesizer
(i) arts-shlibs 1.1.2-3 KDE - arts shared libraries
(i) kdebase3-ssl 3.1.2-3 KDE - base system
(i) kdebase3-ssl-sh 3.1.2-3 KDE - base shared libraries
