Good.  This is by design, to make sure your distribution changes before you 
selfupdate

Managing expectations :-)

0.38.1, unless you installed from the future. :-)

Somebody on one of the lists (maybe this one) mentioned that he was able to fix 
Fink Commander by installing a Fink perl and using that via the

can be remedied by running the appropriate update.

A 10.10 upgrade page merely requires time and personnel.  Which is hard. :-)  
Plus manually editing website stuff.
