Re: Fink Update Stuck at scalar-list-utils-pm5184

> You actually have the inverse of the problem that others commonly reported.  They had files in a “5.18.2" directory in a -pm5184 package.  You’ve got a “5.18.4" directory in your currently installed scalar-list-utils-pm5182.  Rebuild and reinstall scalar-list-utils-pm5182.

This did the trick for that package,  But, then I had similar problems
with several other packages.  I figured that the same solution would
apply, and it did.    "fink update-all" now completes.

Thanks!
