Error installing gnucash2.2.8 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Intel)

[David Reiser]

After enabling unstable, you have to do 'fink selfupdate' or possibly  
'fink index -f; fink selfupdate-rsync' to kick it out of the mode it  
ends up in from the fink installer dmg.

The selfupdate is needed to retrieve package descriptions after you  
tell it "OK, I want unstable". I didn't find that step particularly  
clear when I started out.
