Hi all, I'm having a problem with FINK.
I've tried downloading the .deb packages for wget and lynx with sudo apt-get install only to receive the following errors: --------------------------- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: lynx 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 1319kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Get:1 http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main lynx 2.8.4-1 [1319kB] Fetched 1319kB in 11s (115kB/s) dpkg: error processing /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/lynx_2.8.4-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack): failed to open package info file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' for reading: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/lynx_2.8.4-1_darwin-powerpc.deb E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -------------------- I get the same error with wget. Am I suppose to create this directory (/sw/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control) ? What permissions do I need to give it? I've also tried compiling from source (with the Dec 2001 dev package and fink command) but I get this using "sudo fink install wget" ------------------ pkg wget version 1.7-2 The following package will be installed or updated: wget rm -rf wget-1.7-2 mkdir -p /sw/src/wget-1.7-2 tar -xvzf /sw/src/wget-1.7.tar.gz Failed: directory /sw/src/wget-1.7-2/wget-1.7 doesn't exist, check the package description ------------------- I'm at a loss for this error. Prior to this, I had installed one program, and that was Links. In previous installs of OS X, I've installed both XFree86 and theGIMP. Thanks for your help. And to the maintainers: This is an awesome program.
