I finally got gnome-vfs and gnumeric installed. I ended up with three sets of "Failed: Internal error: node for XXXX already exists" during the process (where XXXX is a package name). In each case, the only way I found to move ahead was to remove the package and install it again. I also ended up with a couple of dependencies that repeatedly failed to compile, but I discovered that they were available in binary form, so I installed them that way. Thanks to Chris Devers and Mathais Meyer for their advice. Thanks to all the people who make fink happen!
