That'll make intltool40 available on 11.3+, but there are still missing perlmod dependencies that must also have perl-5.30.2 versions enabled.

Sven,

I have run the totally unverified and unofficial command to deal with this until an official fix comes along.  Any bad side effects are yours.  :-)

Be prepared to have to wipe and reinstall fink and your packages at sometime in the future as we kludge a working system in the OS 11.X variants.

 sudo ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.30 /opt/sw/bin/perl5.30.2
