You can rerun /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl but currently there's no 
"sanctioned" way to do it.  This is the first Fink release where it is 
concievable that people could switch back and forth between 
"distributions", so fink is't really well set-up to handle such changes. 
  We're gonna add some better consistency-checking to fink to fix this, 
soon, I hope.

Is this bug really a feature, Mister Reed?
