I see this was done on purpose... Just the opposite of your change, way back when..
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/fink/perlmod/Fink/ FinkVersion.pm.in?r1=1.5&r2=1.6
Invesigating this i noticed the Basepath: missing error message does not work:
% fink index
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Config.pm line 123.
Basepath not set in config file ""
Also with the old code, it looks like fink would have been able to print its version and not spew errors when the basepath was not in the conf file. Now it spews:
% fink --Version
Package manager version: 0.17.1.cvs
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/FinkVersion.pm line 85.

Fink::FinkVersion.pm is generated from perlmod/Fink/FinkVersion.pm.in. It
only has two variables. @VERSION@ and @[EMAIL PROTECTED] @VERSION@ I can
understand, it comes from the VERSION file and is set at build time. But
@BASEPATH@ is in fink.conf and can be gotten from Fink::Config.
Is there any reason why Fink::FinkVersion needs to have its basepath
hardcoded and can't just use $Fink::Config::basepath like everything else?
There doesn't seem to be any circular dependencies between Fink::Config and
Fink::FinkVersion.
I'm trying to see if I can build Fink::FinkVersion without having to run
inject.pl.
