I've just installed the Fink 0.28.7 source on Leopard, following the
instructions given on
http://www.finkproject.org/doc/bundled/install-fast.php#install

Everything worked fine, up until the final test after install:
$ fink install xfree86-server gimp
Password:
Scanning package description files..........

$ fink install gimp

While fink appears to be installed, and can selfupdate-cvs itself to .10, (oddly
picking up a 10.4 tree rather than the 10.5 tree I'd expect...) apt-get
or install don't actually seem to do anything functional, complaining that
packages don't exist.

What now?

thanks,

L.
