I just updated to Fink 0.25.0, and it appears that FinkCommander no longer knows how to deal with the database of installed and available packages.
For example, after updating or removing a package, FinkCommander still lists the old package as installed. It appears that a 'fink index' and/or 'fink cleanup --sources' is required in order for FC to grok the status. Also, despite the fact that fixes for the FinkCommander v0.54 version- checking bug, and Universal Binary fixes have been in the FC cvs for several months, the release available for download on sourceforge is still a powerpc-only, buggy version. I emailed the maintainers some time ago, even offering to package a fresh build, but got no response. For pretty much anyone who isn't a fink maintainter, FinkCommander is an essential tool. If you all want to keep Fink as a tool which non- developers find useful, a GUI is essential, but FinkCommander is really looking a bit sad.
