I said "rsync method", meaning run "fink selfupdate-rsync" to switch over. Or if you insist on using CVS (which is not recommended unless something in your net connection requires it) you shouldread the FAQ, which has an entry that explains what to do for your problem: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#cvs-busy -- Alexander K.
