No this is the source version. I compiled it earlier this week.
"fink dumpinfo -f allversions gnuplot" returns
-----------
Information about 4122 packages read in 8 seconds.
allversions:
4.2.3-13
bi 4.2.4-6
-----------
I performed the following:
sudo fink rebuild tetex-base
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/tetex-base_3.0-1006_darwin-powerpc.deb
and it worked just fine.
Thanks for the pointer to the faq!!
