Sometime in February Alexander K. Hansen assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Unfortunately I believe this is because this version of unison doesn't 
| like ocaml-3.08.  Try downgrading to 3.07:
| 
| sudo apt-get install ocaml=3.07-1

So this works. Next I tried to install unison with fink. Then fink proceeds
to install the new version of ocaml which causes the installation of unison
to fail. I tried to isntall unison with apt, but apt doesn't see the
package. So what am I doing wrong here?

I have a silly question with respect to the 'fink' versus 'apt-*' commands.
Why use one versus the other? Anything I install using fink seems to
compile everything while the apt stuff appears to be using precompiled
binaries. I'm familiar with debian and apt, but I'm still new to this fink
stuff. Could someone explain the paradigm here?
