Have you updated your pacakge descriptions? I'm pretty sure that's
been fixed in all of 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3 for a few weeks now. If
there are some I missed, feel free to send me the fink index output
and I'll fix them in CVS ASAP.

The only way (using supported fink trees) I think one would see this
would be if you have your own personal .info files. In that case, you
really should fix them, since some future fink may start mis-parsing
those fields and give a variety of possibly-hard-to-diagnose problems.

It's very difficult to have only the validator catch these (since it
uses the same parsing routine as fink itself) or to force people to
run 'fink validate' so I made that message un-optional in order to
give you lead-time to fix your stuff. And because I merely uncommented
some code that had been commented-out for a while so I assumed the
person who put it there (hi Max) wanted it that way (unless it was
just for his own use and never meant to become part of live fink, in
which case I apologize for putting words in his mouth).
