Yes. If 'fink list sasl' shows packages with an 'i' at the beginning, that means the package was successfully installed. 'dpkg -L <PKGNAME>' will show you the files that a specific PKGNAME knows about. > I see for example in /sw/sbin saslpasswd2 and if I check it's version > it's the new/correct one, but if I look at /usr/sbin/saslpasswd2 it's > still the old version. > > Any thoughts appreciated - Fink puts everything into /sw, making sure not to touch anything in /usr (or other system areas) because messing with the system can have unintended consequences. If your problem is that running 'saslpasswd2' calls the older system sasl, make sure that Fink is first in your PATH in Terminal/xterm. Running the script '/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh' should set up your startup scripts such that happens as the default.
