Hello, Ingo. A custom package package description *should* reside under /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo. Assuming you've created your Gnuplot 4.3.0 package description there: a) When you install a package via Fink its files are written under / sw. To remove them, run fink remove packagename b) /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo should contain the package description file (.info), and patch (.patch) if any. After removing these files, run fink index to update Fink's list of available packages (package descriptions). c) /sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-arch (where arch = i386, ppc, ...) should contain the binary package(s) (.deb) created when Fink builds a package. After removing those .deb files, run fink scanpackages to update Fink's list of available (binary) packages. Cheers, -- monipol http://finkers.wordpress.com Submitting a Fink bug report?
