Thanks a lot! That mostly worked. However, I now get this when I do an update-all:
curl -f -L -s -S -O ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.13.19.tar.gz curl: (19) Failed to open file. ### curl failed, exit code 19 Downloading the file "tar-1.13.19.tar.gz" failed. It appears that that file is missing although there is a alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.13.tar.gz I can download that and put it in what appears to be the right place (/sw/src) but I don't know how to get fink to do its magic now (it just keeps trying to download tar-1.13.19.tar.gz).
