As the subject says, I am unable to run selfupdate, either from the
command line or from FinkCommander.  The error says that -t/-f
wrappers not supported.  I am running  OS 10.3.3, fink .70.0 and I
have the latest version of XCode installed. Any idea what I need to
do
to get it to work?  Thanks.

Can you paste the literal error message, along with the context?

Here's what I got when I ran selfupdate-cvs in FinkCommander:


Please note: the command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine
updating; you only need to use 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink
selfupdate-rsync' if you are changing your update method.



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 -q -z3 update -d -P
? stamp-rel-0.6.2
.
.
.
? 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system/xfree86-base.patch
? 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/sawfish-1.1-16.info
? 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/startup-notification.info
cvs [update aborted]: -t/-f wrappers not supported by this version of
CVS
### execution of cvs failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

I get the same error if I just try selfupdate.

I couldn't duplicate your error on my machine, which also has XCode 1.2
installed. What do you get if you run "cvs -v" and "which cvs" ?

Here's what I get:


~> cvs -v

~> which cvs /usr/bin/cvs ~>

Does this help?

Well, you're not using some weird version of the cvs executable, What version of the fink package manager (e.g. via "fink --version" do you have)? There may be some hitherto unknown update bug going on.
