Then when it tried to downgrade ocaml I got the following:

I dont know why it did this. I tried apt-get clean and reran the above command
but I get the same output. Perhaps the file on the server is corrupted?
Or it may be a PATH issue. Check if /sw/sbin is missing from your PATH.
Also when I tried to downgrade ocaml, apt also uninstalled 'lablgtk' which
we may recall from the unison.info file:
BuildDepends: lablgtk, gettext-dev, gettext-bin, x11-dev, gtk+, glib ^^^^^^^
Which is why I think fink keeps installing the latest version of ocaml.
Entirely possible

Is there a primer or tutorial on how to do this? I may end up using the precompiled binary till this version stuff gets figured out.
Not really--I tried doing a build of the latest versions from source and it didn't work for me. The precompiled binary there is pretty straightforward--it's just a file that you stick somewhere in your PATH. I use ~/bin.
