I have upgraded (painlessly) and so far everything looks good. I am
not sure how significant this is but the subsequent "fink update-all"
was not quite without effect; First, I got:
Updating the list of locally available binary packages.
Scanning dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64
New package: ...
and then an enumeration of many (all) installed packages. I also got
an "injected" directory in %p/fink/10.8/local/ (this one probably
during selfupdate though I am not really sure) with the following
content:
< godel:local/injected > ll -R .
.:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Nov 27 20:14 finkinfo/
./finkinfo:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Nov 27 20:14 update-packages/
./finkinfo/update-packages:
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5717 Nov 27 20:14 perl586-10.5.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1146 Nov 27 20:14 rman-10.5.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 564 Nov 27 20:14 rman-10.5.patch
Should I do anything in particular about this one?
I also got some packages with no correspondent on 10.8:
< godel:~ > fink list -oNt
Information about 6306 packages read in 2 seconds.
*i* debianutils 4.3.2-2 Misc utilities specific to Debian/Fink
*i* evince 2.22.2-3 GNOME document viewer
*i* gcc46-compiler 4.6.3-1000 Compiler Binaries for gcc46.
*i* gcc46-shlibs 4.6.3-1000 Shared libraries for gcc4
*i* help2man-perl5123 1.37.1-2 Generates man pages from
program output
I have removed help2man-perl5123 (nobody complained). Evince is 10.7
only in the Fink tree but removing this restriction causes it to build
and work fine on 10.8.
Does anybody have any idea how the new version of debianutils got in
there? This is not caused by the upgrade, I had it like this for
awhile. Is it safe to leave it as is, and if not how can I downgrade
it? In similar circumstances I would remove and then rebuild the
package, but I am not allowed to remove it since it is an essential
package.

I removed gcc46-shlibs (and gcc46-compiler) and nobody complained...
I will advise if anything of interest shows up later.
Cheers,
Stefan
