The error message looks like fink isn't even seeing the .info file for 2.4.23, rather than a problem downloading it. Do you have local/main in your Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf?
Also, I have a .info file for libxml2-2.4.23-5 (rather than -1) if you'd like it. On Mon, 2002-10-28 at 13:15, Chia Hung wrote: > Hi, > > This is a question concerning downgrading libxml2 again.
