For those of you having problems updating to 10.2-gcc3.3 or 10.3 from a previous Fink release, the problem should be fixed now. To get the update, you should do a "fink selfupdate-rsync" or "fink selfupdate-cvs" and then retry your "fink update-all".
It was all my fault, I failed to mark fink-prebinding as "essential". The way it works is, all packages automatically depend on essential packages (except essential ones, of course, that would be silly). Essential packages must always be built before any other packages.
The current fink tree has essential packages that depend on fink-prebinding, but, fink-prebinding wasn't essential. So it was impossible for it to be built before the things that need it could. Fink got confused and gave up.

you might want to take a look at something else going on with Fink and let the others know as well.
Besides the dselect problem on the site I noticed and thankfully caught before it did anything…when you use apt-get or fink commander to install something it wants to remove system-xfree86 and replace it with a stock xfree86 install wiping out the apple X11 that comes with 10.3! Or at least looking like it would.
Hopefully this has been caught in time.
This is covered in the faq here.
Dammit, stripped out my html. Whose blog is this anyways? =)
