I think I made a couple of errors here. 1) The syntax I gave you requires you to specify the full path to the deb files. The problem with deb file:/sw.old/fink/debs is that that all of the files in /sw/fink/debs are symbolic links, and those links got broken when the directory was moved. If you use file:/sw.old/fink/10.4-transitional/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/utils/ for example, to access all of the .debs in the utils section, I think that would work, if you 2) run "fink scanpackages" after building to generate the file lists that apt-get uses--I should have had you do this. Here's an easier idea. Try adding deb file:/sw.old/fink stable main crypto deb file:/sw.old/fink unstable main crypto again. Then run "fink scanpackages" and see if that registers the old .debs. -- Alexander K.
