The version that gets used is set by the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf--as far as I can tell, the _last_ directory where the .info file is found gets used, i.e. "local/main unstable/main" means a version in unstable gets used.

I have run into a particular problem several times this weekend
while trying (unsuccessfully) to get g77 to build under 10.2-gcc3.3.
I find that if I move a copy ofg77-3.4-20031015.info into the
my finkinfo directory that it will be used if I do 'fink install g77'.
However since that build fails I wanted to remove it and try the
previous g77 snapshot info. The problem I run into is that after
removing the g77-3.4-20031015.info file I placed in finkinfo, any
further attempts at 'fink install g77' brings up the same 20031015
build. It is as if fink has hidden away a copy of this info somewhere
and I can't purge it. Is this normal behavior is or is there a workaround
to cause fink to forget about recently added .info files?
This behavior occurs regardless of where I have added the .info file...
I get the same if I add the .info to the local or in the 10.2 branch
of /sw/fink itself. Thanks in advance for any hints.

ps One other question. If one has a copy of a .info in the local branch
of /sw/fink and a copy with the same .info name exists in the 10.2
branch who has precedence? It seems to me that the local copy should
but that doesn't seem to be the case. Or do the .info files have to
have different names?
