If you don't care about getting the latest versions, then that's fine. Otherwise you'll want to use the fink tool. -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documenter (still) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

(scanpackages is totally irrelevant to this, by the way) Did you do a selfupdate with either rsync or cvs updating turned on? If not then you'll need to use fink selfupdate-rsync (preferred) or fink selfupdate-cvs to turn the respective method on. tariq -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documenter (still) - Take Surveys.
