Hi all ! I have run 'fink selfupdate' and got: rsync -az -q  rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.

Then I have tried 'fink scanpackages', and 'fink selfupdate' again. But I have always got the same errors msg. I don't understand what's going wrong. Well is it concerning the server or my own system ? Thank you for your help Francois
