You have to distinguish between "fink - the distribution" which is at version 0.4.0 and "fink - the package manager program" which is at 0.9.11. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
