Both have had a forced index update. Both have had a cleanup performed.


cleanup is completely irrelevant to package listing problems.


Didn't know, I was grasping at straws.

Any thoughts?


For both machines, make sure Fink is pointing to the Tiger package list by running

/sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl

My suspicion is that the "long list" machine is still seeing the Panther package list, and the "short list" machine is a bit confused right now.


That worked. It also fixed another oddity that I'd noticed. The machine with the long list was still seeing Panther, the other piece that seems to confirm that is that when I performed a "selfupdate" on that machine I could see references to 10.3 flying by. Now both reference 10.4. But I notice that one has 1802 and the other has 1794 packages. Is that just because one had stuff installed before the Tiger upgrade, or is there another explanation?

That's probably it--I'm not sure exactly how splitoff packages (foo, foo-dev, foo-shlibs) get counted.
