Max: It's not the versioned dependency (python >= 2.2.1-8) that causes this - it's the fact that python22 contains python-2.2.2 and python23 contains python-2.3, so fink is just choosing the highest version number available. I think the reason fink tries to install python23, even if python22 is already installed, is that you didn't have the python-2.2.2 splitoff installed. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
