What exactly do you mean here?
I was referring to, among other things, a posting by Michele Garoche: clear from the message that she was only referring to the GTK/ssl interaction.
I don't recall ever seeing it with anything that's not GTK-based, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other strange issues floating around--none seem to have been identified as of yet.
The -ssl packages work fine, but due to licensing issues must be built from source. There are issues with GTK packages and some ssl stuff, but that's covered in the FAQ now.
You're referring to question 4.19?
(9.14)
4) Any other gotchas I need to watch out for?
The above-mentioned GTK problem, which is due to the OS rather than anything in Fink.
Great. Thanks a bunch for clarifying this.
