That is my guess as to what happens.  Fink doesn’t switch to a different category when it is ClosestFirst.  In fact it doesn’t even give you the option in the console query.  I have switched it to MasterFirst and that resolves the issue as you state.

I was starting to worry since the Master fink was having issues and I found a whole bunch that either did not download or did not pass the checksum.  I know there is an extensive infrastructure to maintain the FinkMirrors.   But these download commands failed and then it reverted to the source and they succeeded.  That was why I switched to source first to see if I could get that to work smoother.

These 17 failed, out of about a 100 downloads to restore my standard set of installs which may be a small percentage over all the packages out there, but something is off.

Thanks for the analysis.
