In both Macs I have the latest OS (10.3.2), the latest fink (0.17.1+0.6.2.cvs) and under /sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/languages/ the packages .info files, shouldn't they work identically then? If I use FinkCommander I can't see the packages too. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have the impression that both (fink, FinkCommander) look
You are doing nothing wrong (except for expecting too much, perhaps ;-) )
only in the /sw/fink/10.3 directory, is this the right behavior? If it
Yes. Eventually, all package descriptions are supposed to migrate to 10.3, but this takes time. you can help make it happen faster.
is, is it possible to force the usage of the older packages too without going into trouble?
You can copy the package descriptions to your /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory (create it if it doesn't exist). Then try to build the packages. If you succeed, tell the maintainer about it, and if the maintainer doesn't respond, the list. If you run into problems, ask the list.
