Circular dependency

You mean this circular dependency? It's been fixed. Also note that they don't recommend doing selfupdate-cvs anymore. Instead, do selfupdate-rsync once to set the mode to rsync and then just do "fink selfupdate" from then on.
Worth noting....

As for dports being in panther, a combination of technical issues (dports not being in a state they were willing to support forever) and political issues, it got pulled. I don't know if there are plans to re-add it in a later release.
As for metapkg, the idea of a huge database of packages kind of died out, but we've started trying to fill out the wiki with useful porting info, hopefully in time it will become more useful.
Also, the mailing lists are there for anyone wanting to post problems, but we're getting about 2 e-mails a month, so it's not really happened much.:)
Metpkg was never going to be a new joint packaging system, only a resource for all of the packaging groups to avoid some duplication of work by sharing patches for ported software and compilation tips and such.
