Thanks for your advice. Not long after I posted to the list I reread that documentation page & realised its parent said it was for source only! Anyway, I've just done what you suggest above. fink spent a long time downloading & then I got pages of messages like this: /bin/cp -f libksba8.info /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/; /bin/chmod 644 /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/crypto/finkinfo/libksba8.info after that, I got these warnings: Reading package info... WARNING: End of file reached during here-document in ""/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods/template-pm-2.08-25.info"". WARNING: Unable to parse the line "<<" at line 103 of info2 of "/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods/template-pm-2.08-25.info". WARNING: End of file reached during here-document in ""/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods/template-pm.info"". WARNING: Unable to parse the line "<<" at line 89 of info2 of "/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods/template-pm.info". Updating package index... done. and then eventually the same make error: ### execution of make failed, exit code -1 So I tried apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade, as explained here: http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/upgrade.php apt-get dist-upgrade told me to run apt-get -f install. I did that, then tried again with apt-get dist-upgrade. I got no error messages, but my version is still given as: Package manager version: 0.21.3 Distribution version: 0.7.2 How can I get to 0.8.0? ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
