No error.

I did:

1. fink selfupdate
completed without error.

2. fink update-all
completed without error.

3. fink install gnucash
....which failed on a db3 vs db4 conflict.

4. fink install gnucash2
... which brought in evince, which failed on the gs dependency.

5. fink update ghostscript
completed without error

6. fink install gnucash2
completed without error.

My confusion is that it seems step 5 should not have been necessary
after step 2.

Is it possible that the aborted attempt to install gnucash 1.x somehow
downgraded ghostscript back to 6.x?
