I’ll look at clarifying the example. By the way, fink (and dpkg) will attempt
to handle downgrades automatically. As long as there isn’t a versioned
dependency, you can just install the package without any extra fuss. So the
next time you need to downgrade gnuplot (e.g. after an update-all), a simple
fink install gnuplot-4.6.6
will suffice.
