Yes. There's a split in fink revision numbers. For gnucash 2.2.2, -5  
is the current 10.4 revision and -105 is the current 10.5 revision.  
The fink realm decided that 10.5 could share the same repository as  
10.4. But some packages need a 10.5-specific build. In order to make  
sure that someone who updates from 10.4 to 10.5 can successfully  
update their fink packages, there is a split revision numbers large  
enough that the 10.4 tree revision numbers will never collide with the  
10.5 numbers. (Meanwhile, there is a mechanism to keep fink users with  
10.4 from seeing the higher revision number packages.)

Right now, the reason I set up separate revisions for 10.4 and 10.5 is  
that I decided that managing finance-quote and its dependencies was  
easier if I made gnucash use the system-installed version of perl.  
Since Apple updated from Perl 5.8.6 in 10.4 to Perl 5.8.8 in 10.5,  
gnucash requires separate package descriptions/revisions for the two  
system versions.
