I can see that, but installing numpy-py26 alone would also have caused pygtk2-gtk-py26 to complain about missing scipy-core-py26, so there seems to be some obscure dependency (through python26 ?) that triggers removal of scipy-core-py26 when numpy-py26 is installed.

Thank you so much! I had spent two hours on this before asking here. I was successful at conceiving a bash command that would allow me to track down dependencies issues manually: fink list -ti | tee /tmp/fink_list-i | cut -d "$(echo -ne \\t)" -f2 \ | xargs fink show-deps >/tmp/fink_list-i.show-deps \ && less /tmp/fink_list-i /tmp/fink_list-i.show-deps However, I soon gave up on actually doing so, as I found it just too laborious. Is it possible to let fink report more details about its dependency calculations? Apparently, the verbose switch -v does not have that effect. Even though I am generally hesitant to override any dependency issues, stepwise details could help to find the culprit and possibly a remedy. Regardless, your suggestion resolved this case in a minute. :) Thanks again.
