Hi Hanspeter,

thanks for your assistance.

I use fink on MacOS 10.5. Latest I believe as I allow software updates.
Fink version is also the newest as I believe:

fink --version | head -n 2
Package manager version: 0.29.11
Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Fri Jun  4 23:16:23 2010, 10.5, i386


I have of course executed 'selfupdate' that was where actually problem 
started to appear. I tried to poke fink with some commands to solve the 
issue myself and somewhere 'fink index -f' appeared.

I have just tried it again as you advised though 'update-all' still 
breaks on 'htmldoc-nox' as an unsolved 'virtuoso' dependancy.

In fact I quite don't understand why do i need it. I tried
'fink remove virtuoso'
cause I though it was automatically installed as a dep' for something 
else but fink replied it is not installed. Maybe something started 
depending on it after the update.

Another thing of my concern is how should I check if I have enabled full 
unstable tree. I am 99% sure I did 'cause i can see 'virtuoso' but on 
the other hand there is 'htmldoc-nox' issue as you have noted. I am also 
quite sure that 'fink configure' asks if the system should use unstable 
tree. It reported that it seems that I am _at least_ partially using 
unstable branch and advised me to say Yes. I want unstable anyway, so I 
typed 'y' <enter>.

Could it be that I still have some strange cross-mixed package tree ?
And why after such reconfiguration fink cannot see 'htmldoc' through 
'apropos' ?

I admit that my package cache/information might get screwed through 
update since it's been a long time I did it last time, but how do I 
check if in my fink package information is coherent and ok?

With regards,
