Ok, that makes sense.

I'm not sure what needs to be changed in the unison.info file. I thought it was
an ocaml dependency, but I don't see one listed in the unison.info file. Is it
possbile one of unisons dependencies depends on the higher version of ocaml?
I've attached it below. Sorry for all the questions, but this is a bit new to me.
Ah--I was looking at 2.9.1-13, which does have that dependency.
Here's a kluge that might work for you:
rm /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/languages/ocaml.info /sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/ocaml.info
sudo apt-get install ocaml=3.0.7-1
At this point fink should only know about the ocaml version you already have installed, so you should be able to install unison.
I've tried later versions of unison built manually and they all didn't get along with ocaml-3.0.8. I wound up using a precompiled OS X binary from the unison website that has HFS+ support.
Maybe it's worth trying to "finkify" that. -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX
