I'm hardly a beginner with fink --- I've been using it for years --- but I'm installing from scratch for the first time in quite a while, so I thought I'd try here first.
Environment: MacBook, brand new HD with 10.5.5 freshly installed. xcode tools 3.0 Xquartz 2.1.5 - (xorg-server 1.3.0-apple22) (2.1.5) I download Fink-0.9.0-Intel-Installer.dmg, run the installer, take the defaults, then run (output omitted) fink configure # enable unstable, otherwise take defaults fink scanpackages fink index fink selfupdate fink update-all So far so good. But then: fink --yes install coreutils coreutils-default Information about 2520 packages read in 1 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'coreutils'! Huh? Both http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/coreutils and http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/coreutils-default say there's an unstable package for 10.5/i386. Did my fink configure not work right? grep Tree /sw/etc/fink.conf Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/crypto SelfUpdateTrees: 10.4 Hm. In the unlikely event there's a binary package but no source, I try apt-get install. Nope. On the off chance coreutils is missing but coreutils-default isn't, I try installing just it. Nada. I search, come up with http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?summary=coreutils and decide the "placeholder" packages, though I'm pretty sure the migration is _from_ those three packages _to_ a single coreutils package. fink --yes install fileutils shellutils textutils Information about 2520 packages read in 0 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'shellutils'! So, still no love. So, does anyon know how to actually get the coreutils package under fink-0.9.0 intel? All clues appreciated.
