Hi Jean-Francois. The downgrade I made was to version 2.0 of fancyhdr.sty, which has a date of October 11, 2000. It is the most recent "old" version, having been replaced by version 2.1 on December 9, 2002. I had to hunt quite a while on the internet to find it, but I was able to locate a copy, and the license permits redistribution.
The reason for making doxygen Depend on this rather than just BuildDepend is that apparently, the TeX output of doxygen (when it is used to produce other documentation) relies on this older version of fancyhdr.sty. It is the upstream authors of doxygen who will need to fix this in the long run, not the Fink maintainers.
