In particular, all the URLs in the package description and in the package sources are obsolete. Newer upstream versions exist.

Hi folks,
No kind souls leapt to help me on my previous post, so here's hoping this time ;-)
Having just upgraded laptops I decided to start with a clean Fink installation (from source).
All has gone well, but mldonkey says it wants ocaml 3.0.7 from CVS. The installation of ocaml 3.08 as one of the dependencies seemed to go OK.
I've tried answering yes to the mldonkey installation question about downloading ocaml, but it can't find that file.
Shouldn't Fink take care of the dependencies?
It definitely should. If mldonkey depends on a specific version of ocaml, it should have a dependency on this precise version. If, on the other hand, it wants to build its own version of ocaml from downloaded sources, then these sources should be part of the sources that mldonkey downloads automatically before starting to compile. The interactive download in the middle of the build phase is only asked for by mistake; it should be desactivated in a working Fink package.
Pointers appreciated.
Maybe someone on the devel list will bite. Or maybe you want to try yourself to transform this wreck into a working Fink package :-) ?
Thanks.
