Hi Sebastian,

run 'fink selfupdate' which will fetch the newest package descriptions.

HTH,

I am having trouble using fink. I have installed fink, but when I type in

fink list

I only get 40 applications listed, almost all of which are already
installed on my computer.

For instance, the application "wget" is not listed.

Q4.7 on the page http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#bindist
seems to adress this issue, but when I type in

fink install wget

I get out:

Information about 40 packages read in 1 seconds.
no package found for "wget"
Failed: no package found for specification 'wget'!

I am confused.  There is a stable version of this program, and I have
installed Developer Tools.  Can anyone help me?  Thank you, and I
appologize for posting such an elementary problem.

Sebastian
