What you're doing is potentially breaking your package by allowing the main package to be installed alongside an incompatible -shlibs. As Daniel said, a main package should depend on an EXACTLY identical version of its splitoffs, including the Epoch. No mixing and matching allowed. It's not a "bug in fink", but rather that this package violates normal operational procedures. cf. the Epoch item (recently updated) in the packaging manual: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/reference.php?phpLang=en -- Alexander K.
