I am trying to install package ffmpeg which in unstable, but I cannot get any unstable packages to show up in fink even after following the process listed in the FAQ (http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable).
I installed fink with the binary Leopard installer: $ fink -V Package manager version: 0.27.13 Distribution version: 0.9.0 i386 I used fink configure to enable unstable: $ cat /sw/etc/fink.conf | grep "^Trees:" Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/crypto And here is my attempt to finish off the steps listed in the FAQ: $ fink selfupdate The file "CURRENT-FINK-10.5" already exists. (1) Delete it and download again (2) Assume it is a partial download and try to continue (3) Don't download, use existing file How do you want to proceed?

Done Building Dependency Tree... Done After that I am supposed to have many more packages than this: $ fink list | wc -l 2524 So obviously ffmpeg is missing: $ fink list ffmpeg Scanning package description files.......... Information about 2524 packages read in 1 seconds. $ fink install ffmpeg Scanning package description files.......... Information about 2524 packages read in 1 seconds. no package found for "ffmpeg" Failed: no package found for specification 'ffmpeg'! Can anyone help with debugging my attempt to get unstable working?
