Hi,

I am using fink version 0.7.0  and Mac OS X version 10.3.3

I have been using fink for the a few months. Today I typed dselect to install some packages. When I selected Install from the menu, I got the following message:

dselect: requested operation requires super user privilege

I am using my own Mac and this did not happen last time I went to install a package (which was a couple months ago).
Any suggestions of what I might need to do to "fix" this so I can install something?


Thank you for your help and time!
Katherine


sudo dselect

Then enter your admin password.

("fink install" automatically invokes sudo to do its thing--you may well have used that.)
