This certainly looks up to date.

Yes, virtuoso must have come in as a new dependency for some package you
already had that needed an update. It hasn't been installed yet
(because of the htmldoc-nox issue), so obviously you can't remove it
just yet.

If you've run 'fink selfupdate' after turning on unstable in 'fink
configure', then you should be able to see htmldoc (and the output from
fink --version shows you have run selfupdate-cvs recently). In my case,
'fink dumpinfo -finfofile htmldoc-nox' shows the description is at:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/htmldoc-nox.info Do you have
this file? If not, then you should rerun 'fink selfupdate'. I don't
know why the selfupdate would fail to get some of the package
description files (maybe a remote server error). (edit: read and try
the last paragraph of my response to a possible solution before doing this)

'fink index -f' forces a total reread of the package index, so any
inconsistencies should disappear. I don't think there's a way to verify
the integrity of an existing index.
If the above doesn't work, what do you get from 'fink list htmldoc
virtuoso' ?
I get:
****
htmldoc 1.8.27-1 Converts HTML files to PDF or
PostScript
htmldoc-nox 1.8.27-1 Converts HTML files to PDF or
PostScript
virtuoso 6.1.0-1 SQL/RDF/XML data management
server
****
Actually, looking more into this, htmldoc is in crypto for some reason.
What does 'grep Trees /sw/etc/fink.conf' show? "unstable/main" and
"unstable/crypto" should be in the output. If not, add the missing one
and re-run 'fink selfupdate' and 'fink index'.
