Hello, Fink. Since you stopped supporting 10.4 (imagine I still use it) several earth cycles ago, the binary system of said version has also stopped working. Now, the problem is that although my fink manages to fetch the total of four Packages.gz's, it can not find any of the binaries during installation. This is because the URL of any given package inside "Packages.gz" is false.
Example given: ---------------------------- fink install gnome-base ... Failed to fetch http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.4/dists/fink-0.8.1/main/binary-darwin-powerpc//gnome/gnome-base_2.4.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb 404 Not Found ---------------------------- Indeed, it doesn't exist. But if you change the 'fink-0.8.1' to 'stable', you'll find it. (Strictly speaking '10.4/dists/' to 'distfiles/'). Now, I only see two solutions for this first world problem. 1) I run ":%s/fink-0.8.1/stable/g" and ":%s/fink-0.8.1-updates/current/g", and feed my gunships to fink, or; 2) you redirect 10.4/dists/fink-0.8.1/ -> distfiles/fink-0.8.1/ and 10.4/dists/fink-0.8.1-updates/ -> distfiles/fink-0.8.1-updates/ to help all humanity. (This is obviously the best alternative). Thank you for helping out, Fink!
