[Fink-beginners] CVS Problem again

Wed, 12 Feb 2003 13:42:50 -0800

Hi all,

after attempting fink selfupdate-cvs, which has worked for the most part, I'm now getting

I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

cvs -z3 update -d -P
cvs update: could not open /Users/jonathan/.cvspass: No such file or directory
cvs [update aborted]: use "cvs login" to log in first
### execution of cvs failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

Looking through the archive, I see that someone had this problem last August, ref <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02286.html> and Martin recommended <http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/cvsaccess/index.php>, but I frankly couldn't understand it. It does say that "Fink will perform all necessary steps automatically for you" and that's what Fink was doing, but not any longer.

Does it have anything do do with the fact that I just installed Apple's X11 beta 2?

tia,

Jonathan
