I'm trying to use fink to install a file that is marked as 'unstable'.
But I can't seem to get fink to find it.

I changed the file links from stable to unstable and ... nothing.

Sorry, I should have added that I already tried everything in the FAQ
and still nothing.
Are the mirrors out of date?

Sorry if I seem to be talking to myself, but it seems that if you
can't find the unstable package you are looking for, it might be
useful to try changing your find update target from rsync to cvs.
I found the package, but a lot of mirrors are failing to download
this morning.

But it seems that the initial problem has been addressed.
