I used selfupdate-cvs for a while, had trouble with using it due to
connectivity issues, so I decided to use selfupdate-rsync.  That worked
well, I got some updates, so life was good.  Now I'm not seeing updates.

I'm using MacOS X 10.2.8.   Here's the output of fink --version:

   Package manager version: 0.20.1
   Distribution version: 0.7.0.c

First question:  Is fink under MacOS X 10.2 basically dead?

Given I haven't seen much in the way of updates via selfupdate-rsync I
decided to use selfupdate-cvs and see what would happen.  Lots of stuff
was downloaded except at the very end I got this message:

   Failed: Can't move "/sw/fink" out of the way

What preceeded the message was this sort of stuff:

   ...
   U fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/xfce.info
   ln 'override' '/sw/fink.tmp/fink/override'
   ln 'TIMESTAMP' '/sw/fink.tmp/fink/TIMESTAMP'
   ln 'openmotif3-2.2.2-5.info' 
'/sw/fink.tmp/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11/openmotif3-2.2.2-5.info'
   ...
   ln 'ncurses_5.2-8_darwin-powerpc.deb' 
'/sw/fink.tmp/fink/10.2/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc/ncurses_5.2-8_darwin-powerpc.deb'
   ln 'Packages.gz' 
'/sw/fink.tmp/fink/10.2/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages.gz'
   ln 'Release' '/sw/fink.tmp/fink/10.2/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc/Release'
   ln 'storable-pm_1.0.14-1_darwin-powerpc.deb' 
'/sw/fink.tmp/fink/10.2/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc/storable-pm_1.0.14-1_darwin-powerpc.deb'
   
Second question:  Can anyone help me (whether futile or not) get past the error?

Thank you,
Joel Breazeale
