So the "apt-get" looks for a binary of it? Here is the output from an install
attempt of transfig-graphicx:
MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$ fink install transfig-graphicx
Password:
Information about 10165 packages read in 2 seconds.
The following package will be installed or updated:
transfig-graphicx
Reading buildlock packages...
Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies!
Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to
fix things by running:
fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install transfig-graphicx=3.2.5d-1014
Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies
MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$
Any help?

Those instructions presume that either there is a binary distribution version
of the package or a local one. You have neither as of yet:

objects)<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/transfig-graphicx>

Every variant of Octave has the same transfig dependency so that won't help.
We currently have literally no way to know what you have on your system which
is causing inconsistent dependencies. Also, it is fairly common that this
scenario gets set up by users accidentally picking incompatible choices in the
build chain.
Can you provide the full output of an attempt at "fink install
transfig-graphicx" ?
