Yes.

Package: mftrace (1.1.1-1)
To install the compiled package...
  The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:

    tetex-base
  The following other packages must not be installed:

To compile this package from source...
  The following packages are also compiled at the same time:
    [none]
  The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:

So mftrace depends on tetex-dev *or* system-tetex. On a virgin fink
installation, doing fink install mftrace (or rather fink install
lilypond), you'll get conflicts.

No idea how to fix this, since I don't know much about fink.
