While installing Fink on a new Panther system, I was surprised to see that it absolutely wanted to install dlcompat-shlibs. As I understand, there is no reason that any package in Panther should depend on dlcompat-shlibs. The package is only there to accomodate older binaries.

A quick grep showed that the following package descriptions have this bogus dependency:

In stable/crypto:
cyrus-sasl2-2.1.13-12.info
wget-ssl-1.8.2-2.info

In stable/main:
unixodbc2-2.2.5-11.info
unixodbc2-nox-2.2.5-11.info
libtool-1.3.5-12.info
3dpong-0.4-2.info
angband.info
gtetrinet-0.4.4-2.info
filmgimp-0.12-4.info
ncl-4.2.0.a028-3.info
xmolwt-0.7-2.info
flac-1.1.0-15.info
flac-nox-1.1.0-13.info
libao2.info
amaya-7.1-3.info
wget-1.8.2-1.info

In unstable/crypto:
cyrus-sasl2-2.1.13-12.info

In unstable/main:
libtool-1.3.5-13.info
filmgimp-0.12-4.info
libdv4-0.99-2.info
ettercap.info
ncarg-4.3.1-3.info
ncl-4.2.0.a028-3.info
ncl-4.2.0.a031-1.info
xpdf.info
amaya-7.1-3.info

There are also more than 200 packages that still BuildDepend on the dummy dlcompat-dev.
