That message means that none of the base packages were updated.  It 
doesn't reflect potentially downloading updated package descriptions.

They're pretty much the same, so there was really no need to attach both.

(It's a lot easier when error logs are pasted inline, so that we can 
extract the relevant part via snipping rather than copying and pasting 
back into the message.)

The error is:

libtool: link: gcc -I/sw/include -Wall -Wno-parentheses -O3 -fforce-addr 
-fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -funroll-loops -o 
.libs/png2theora png2theora-png2theora.o  -L/sw/lib 
../lib/.libs/libtheoraenc.dylib ../lib/.libs/libtheoradec.dylib 
/sw/lib/libogg.dylib /sw/lib/libpng16.dylib -lm
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
   "_png_sizeof", referenced from:
       _png_read in png2theora-png2theora.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Indeed, there's no _png_sizeof in /sw/lib/libpng16.dylib.

libtheora0 doesn't declare a dependency on any libpng, but it does 
indeed check for it and use it, so it _should_ do that.  As a 
workaround, do a "fink install libpng15", since that libpng version 
provides that symbol.
