P.S. If you are running on 10.2, you should install test-simple-pm by hand
before updating fink from CVS HEAD. The "essential" versions of the new
packages are present during the bootstrap, but haven't yet been added to
the unstable trees.


So why not make it so that it only runs the test code if these packages are installed? Shouldn't be too hard (hint: don't check for the fink package to be installed, rather from withing perl check whether the required Test:: perl stuff is available before using it).

Otherwise, when we release a new fink, a lot of people will bump into this hurdle and shout at us :-)

Note: adding the required packages as essential before releaing the new fink doesn't help the problem. If somebody runs "selfupdate" only once a month, they still encounter the problem. In fact, I am not sure whether it is really a good idea to make those packages essential... do we really want that? At most they should be build dependencies of fink, I think.
