Thanks, Alexander -- your workaround worked. You ask about octave-x11. Answer is no, I was just updating the vanilla flavor of octave. Last time I looked at the list (could be some years ago), there were not so many octaves in fink. Quite a proliferation -- I don't know what to make of them all. Nothing jumps out at me from http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/octave-x11 that distinguishes it from regular old octave.
