In general, you can use "fink dumpinfo -fallversons <packagename>" to
access all of the known versions of <packagename>

$ fink dumpinfo -fallversions graphicsmagick
Information about 10617 packages read in 1 seconds.
allversions:
        1.3.7-2
 bi     1.3.12-1

To roll graphicsmagick back, you can use "fink install
graphicsmagick-1.3.7-2"

My recollection is that I saw a similar error in the drawtiming
package with graphicsmagick 1.3.12 but not 1.3.7-2, so I may need to
apply a similar patch to octave-3.2.4 .
