It's just built successfully now. I'm going to examine if it works properly.

It seems that tcpflow has not been in 10.3 tree yet, although it is in 10.2 and 10.2-gcc3.3 trees.
The 10.2-gcc3.3 looks like it will work in Panther, so I just pushed it into the 10.3 tree in CVS. Update your package descriptions (in a few hours, when things finish mirroring) and let me know if it works for you.
BTW, I checked whether the tcpflow is in 10.3 by not only /sw on my
local disk but also on cvsview linked from the top page of Fink's web. My
above referred message was posted after I checked the cvsview.
I think it's better to check whether the package one might want has been
ported to 10.3 tree. If it hasn't been ported to 10.3, even `fink selfupdate`
cannot put the package's info file into local /sw/fink/dists/ tree.
Almost packages in stable have been ported into 10.3, I think, and their
binaries are distributed as well.
Packages in unstable are however not. Some has been ported but there still
packages not-ported yet. Some has been moved to 10.2-gcc3.3 but not in 10.3
with some reasons, I think.
One possible reason in that the package cannot be built on Panther even
if it can be built with GCC 3.3 on Jaguar. Another is that it can be built
but having still problem or not passing test. In these cases, we, user,
should just wait for the completion of porting of the package in unstable.
If I were very challenging, I would put the .info file into my /sw/fink/dists/local/ tree and would try `fink rebuild "the_package_ name"` to see if it could be built. If it would be built succesfully I then would try install and examine it would work. If building the package would fail I would also do `fink rebuild the_package_name |& tee packagebuild.log` to obtaine the detai of build process to see what causes the failure. (Sometime I modify the .info so that the package could be built.)
When I use unstable package, I always remind what the unstable mean.
Thank you.
