hello and thank you for the hint,
checking /sw/etc/apt/source.list gave me this :
# Default APT sources configuration for Fink
# Local package trees - packages built from source locally # NOTE: keep this in sync with the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf # NOTE: run 'fink scanpackages' to create Packages.gz files deb file:/sw/fink local main deb file:/sw/fink stable main crypto #deb file:/sw/fink unstable main crypto
# Official binary distribution: download location for packages
# from the latest release
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/release main crypto
# Official binary distribution: download location for updated
# packages built between releases
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/current main crypto
in complement here's my fink.conf (I am living in Europe so I chose some nearer download places) :

trying this :
% sudo apt-get update
gave me that :

note:
I followed the line in source.list saying to run 'fink scanpackages'
here's the result ( is it normal when it says 'wrote 0 entries to output file' ?) :
fink scanpackages
sudo /sw/bin/fink scanpackages

I see there's some errors but i don't know how to fix them.
I'm learning but still can't figure all by myself out.
kind regards,

BUT, still now, there is no binary available from fink. Is it because of 10.3, most binaries have been compiled for 10.2.
Check your /sw/etc/sources.list and make sure that the binary distribution source lines look something like:
# Official binary distribution: download location for packages
# from the latest release
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/release main crypto
# Official binary distribution: download location for updated
# packages built between releases

If so, then make sure that
I was a little quick on the draw there: the last line should have been
If so, then make sure to do an update (e.g. "sudo apt-get update").
Also, I was incorrect about the x11 virtual package showing up under "fink-virtual-pkgs". However, you should see "system-xfree86" if you run that command.
