Could not resolve inconsistency! The following dependency errors remain:

Just some explanation of what this is all about. Due to a bug in dpkg,
installing a package can sometimes cause unsatisfied dependencies.
As an example, say you have foo and foo-shlibs version 1.0-1 installed,
where foo Depends: foo-shlibs (= 1.0-1). If a new version 2.0-1 is
released, then 'fink update foo-shlibs' used to update foo- shlibs to
2.0-1 but leave foo at 1.0-1, which is broken.
Yes.
To prevent this, Fink (from CVS HEAD) now refuses to install anything
unless it determines that all dependencies on the system will be
satisfied. Currently there's a primitive problem-resolver algorithm in
Fink, which can deal with the specific situation above but not much
else. The general solution is running 'apt-get -f install', as you did.
If anybody has a problem with this new way of doing things, now's the
time to tell me. I could make Fink less strict if people need the
ability to have some broken deps.
Maybe some additional output would be useful. I was at the standard
verbosity level, and from the error message I didn't understand at all
what to do about this. Maybe if at verbosity 2 (standard) it already
said that it was the gdal and gdal-shlibs packages that had problems
with their dependencies, this would be useful and would allow to look at
them and detect that they were at different version numbers.
