1) To get the new package descriptions for the unstable tree, you need to run a "fink selfupdate" after enabling it. and 2) The gmt maintainer (cced) should really have checked that its versioned dependency on netcdf was satisfied in the stable tree before putting that version of gmt there. However, since I'm taking netcdf over and it seems OK for the stable tree, I've moved the current version over, and it should be available shortly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
