Strangely, I repeated what I did yesterday, with no finking inbetween (except
fink list), and this time it worked:
fink selfupdate
fink selfupdate-rsync
fink index -f
fink scanpackages
fink install ffmpeg
Now ffmpeg gives me a version 0.6.1, and ffmpeg works!

Thanks for the reply.
The fink list command didn't find anything that fit your criteria for removal:
~ jim$ fink list -i libav libsw libpost ffmpeg-dev
Information about 10134 packages read in 1 seconds.
(i) libavcodec51-sh 0.4.2007121 Audio/video encoders and decoders libs
(i) libavdevice52-s 0.6.1-5 Audio/video device libs
(i) libavformat52-s 0.6.1-5 Parsers and generators for all common aud...
(i) libavutil49-shl 0.4.2007121 Audio/video utils libs
(i) libswscale0-shl 0.6.1-5 Audio/video scaling libs
Unfortunately I don't have the output from just before the failed message.
Maybe I'll try it again this evening and capture the context of the fail.

0.6.90 is just two days old and is just a point copy of the trunk.

Without knowing which dependencies are causing trouble (ie the immediate
output that would provide context to this error message), it's hard to
know what is causing the inconsistent state. Though most likely it is
the upgrading from the previous release. Run the command 'fink list -i
libav libsw libpost ffmpeg-dev' and remove any -dev packages that do NOT
have a number in their name (ie remove libavformat-dev but keep
libavformat52-dev if that's present instead).
