Hello,

So I have fink configured for using the unstable tree (both main and crypto). I
am currently getting the following failure message update gnome:

> dpkg -i

So looking at this - I then tried to update gnome-vfs-ssl, figuring that if I
could update it first, then it would be possible to install
gnome-mime-data_2.0.0. So doing that - I get the following error:

> Information about 1357 packages read in 1 seconds.

It would appear that the dependency is set in a way that cannot be satisified -
it appears that the update program trys to install gnome-mime-data first, but
this cannot occur because gnome-vfs-ssl is not updated.

Any ideas? Is this simply a bug - for the package maintainer to fix? Or am I
missing something else here? Thanks.
