There's really only one build procedure, so whether a package gets
built in update-all or as a single package the results should be the
same.

A new libgnomedb revision was committed recently. It doesn't have a
new revision but after you selfupdate you can run "fink dumpinfo
-fpatchscript libgnomedb" and and make sure you get something like:

$ fink dumpinfo -fpatchscript libgnomedb
Information about 5694 packages read in 5 seconds.
patchscript:
   cp /sw/share/libtool/ltmain.sh .
   perl -ni -e 'print unless /-scrollkeeper-update/' doc/Makefile.am
