Ah. 'fink remove --recursive' uses 'apt-get remove' to do its thing, so the outputs indeed ought to be the same. What's going on (I think) is that apt-get and fink don't use identical dependency tracking, so it's possible for the system to get in a state that's OK for fink operations on source tarballs, but not for apt-get; and the latter won't do anything for you untill you resolve its gripes. -- Alexander K.
