I'm new to this list, but I've searched the archives and as far as I can tell, my problem is not the same as any reported here so far. I had a working Fink installation under 10.1.5. Yesterday I install 10.2.1. That is, I archive & install 10.2, then repair privileges, then run the 10.2.1 updater, then repair privileges again, then install the Developer Tools from the 10.2 CD, then run the August update on that. All goes well.
Then I try to follow the update instructions. Steps 1-4 are no problem. At step 5 I get some error messages: cannot rename /sw/fink/dists to /sw/fink/10.2 at /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl line 120. dpkg: error processing fink (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66 Errors were encountered while processing: fink ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: Can't call method "get_fullname" without a package or object reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm line 1648. Your Fink installation in '/sw' was updated with a new fink package. [many lines cut] ### execution of su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above. But the script seems to terminate normally with Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done At step 6, I get this: The following 2 packages will be installed or updated: xfree86-base xfree86-rootless The following additional package will be installed: fink [lines cut] cannot rename /sw/fink/dists to /sw/fink/10.2 at /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl line 120. dpkg: error processing fink (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66 Errors were encountered while processing: fink ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: Can't call method "get_fullname" without a package or object reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm line 1648, <STDIN> line 1. That's as far as I get. Thanks for any assistance.
