Martin,
"sudo chown foo /sw/fink"
This did it to work! Thanks, it's running the fink selfupdate-cvs and it's updating fink.
Thanks too for the brief explanation for the number '12'. I would have found it later on, but nice of you to say it immediately. regards, Peter On 2002-11-01 21:43:54 +0100 Martin Costabel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

[...] But there would be no harm in changing the owner to yourself "sudo chown foo /sw/fink" BTW, "12" is the number of nodes (files and directories) contained in /sw/fink.
