I upgraded to 10.2.3 when I got home from my vacation. Then tonight I tried installing a new program with Fink. Well I use Fink Commander, as it makes using Fink so easy. (I hate dselect) Lo, to my surprise Fink Commander says I have 0 packages. I look in the /sw directory and they are all there. Going to the terminal "fink list" shows them all there and with my installed ones showing as installed.

Is Fink Commander incompatible with 10.2.3 or did some index just get toasted somewhere?

It was the new version of Perl that did it, not 10.2.3. I'm not sure the older version is around or if there is an uninstaller. Bummer.

So be careful about installing Perl 5.8
