Thanks Martin, that did the trick. I do have fink installed on a separate partition (firewire drive) since my venerable iMac DV's internal hard drive can't hold much more. I unchecked the ignore ownership button, and it updated fine. Was this in the docs or faq? If so, I somehow missted it. If not, perhaps it should be. Thanks again.

I just installed fink with the 0.7.0 installer on mac os 10.3.3. I already had xcode installed. I downloaded the latest version of fink commander. When I run selfupdate I get an error. I tried this in fink commander and in terminal as well with the same result. I'm pasting what I hope will be the relevant output below. Any clues as to what is wrong here?

This has been observed before when Fink was installed on a partition whose "Ignore ownership" button was selected (in the info window). Is your Fink installed on another partition, too?
