Hello!  This looks like a fink-specific packaging problem; I'm not sure if
anyone here can help with that.  There is a page here:

    http://people.ucsc.edu/~jacobkm/tkinter_osx_howto.html

that appears to apply to OS X; it looks like you may need to update Fink's
configuration to pull "unstable/main" into Fink's package tree.  The
instructions on the page are fairly unambiguous, but doesn't say what to
do if things go horribly wrong.



For that, you may want to ask on the pythonmac-sig mailing list; I'm sure
someone there can help you:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/

experimental:

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2002-August/005955.html

so you definitely should get in touch with the pythonmac-sig for more
authoritative answers.


I hope that this helps!
