Quoting Matt Stephenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Tried that - it couldn't find the GIMP.

[icable-ft-dhcp20:/sw/src] steveh% sudo apt-get install gimp
Password:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package gimp

> Also run "fink selfupdate-cvs" to get the latest package descriptions.

This also failed.

...Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just 
press
return (i.e. the password is empty).
su steveh -c 'cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login'
cvs: Command not found.
### su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.

I would be delighted to stick to binaries. If it only worked... I tried both of 
the above several times. I also tried uninstalling Fink and downloading a fresh 
version.
