As far as I know we haven’t added a new binary distribution repository, so there’s really anything to reconfigure which will actually help in this case. It works for me: ... Downloading the indexes of available packages in the binary distribution. /sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait update Hit http://bindist.finkmirrors.net stable/main Packages Hit http://bindist.finkmirrors.net stable/main Release Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree… Done Maybe try running the command “sudo apt-get-lockwait update” manually to see if that works. Also try “sudo apt-get update”—theoretically both should have the same behavior, but we might as well additional data. Also, what are the contents of your /sw/etc/apt/sources.list file? (Normally apt-get throws an error message promptly when there is a download error, however) And what method are you using to give the fink tools administrative privileges? Finally, what OS X version are you using? As a workaround to the immediate problem, you can use “fink configure” and shut off integration between fink and the binary distribution tools. This will let you update, albeit always from source. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
