Can't Run

[Kiley Barraclough]

The Fink team got me over this hurdle (I just needed to enable the crypto tree then run another selfupdate).  I found gnucash2 after that.  The next problem is that when I run 'fink install gnucash2' I get the following failure:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Failed: can't batch-install packages: /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/devel/autoconf_2.60-4_darwin-i386.deb /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/devel/autoconf2.5_2.60-4_darwin-i386.deb

troubles much better than I, though.

Try 'fink selfupdate-rsync' and then 'fink list gnucash' (no 2 yet). You 
should see listings for both the gnucash and gnucash2 series (base 
package + -shlibs and -docs). Then you can 'fink install gnucash2'
