thanks for the pointer! However, questions remain:
1) Is the behavior I reported abnormal, or is it how fink is supposed
to behave?
2) How would I go about telling Fink Commander about the 10.4
transistional tree? I couldn't find anything. I could imagine that I
could directly edit fink.conf, but I haven't tried yet.
3) If it is indeed necessary to manually tell fink to switch trees,
why is there no mention of this crucial fact on the website?
Thanks,
Moritz
I think you want to tell fink to use the 10.4 transitional tree. I
believe I did this through fin commander, and then, of course, many
of the packages I had installed became outdated immediately.

I wonder how this process would enable fink to find out about a new
tree. It seems fink checks in fink.conf what the current tree is
(10.3), downloads the appropriate CURRENT-FINK-10.3 from SF, which
yields 10.3-0.7.2, installs some stuff, and finally (in
postinstall.pl) restorates exactly the same 10.3 symlinks that have
been there forever. How can this possibly work (i.e., yield a 10.4
tree)?
Googling and lloking through the FAQ and mailing lists has not
resulted in any useful information. Thanks for any hints,
