Dear Fink Beginners, I have had a number of installation failures all with a similar outcome which is that a Directory does not exist. Two examples follow:-
On running Selfupdate-rsync from the FinkCommander it fails with the failure entry appearing thus at the end of the install dialog:- Removing runtime build-lock... Removing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-cctools-extra-590.18-1 (Reading database ... 4533 files and directories currently installed.) Removing fink-buildlock-cctools-extra-590.18-1 ... Failed: directory y/cctools-extra-590.18-1/cctools-590.18 doesn't exist, check the package description On trying to install wmmoonclock-1.27-1 the same thing happened, viz:- Failed: directory y/wmmoonclock-1.27-1/wmMoonClock-1.27/Src doesn't exist, check the package description I note that there two y Folders, one in my Home Folder and the other one is located on my HD. There is nothing in the y Folder in my Home Folder. In the y Folder on my Hard Disc one Folder appears which is xdg.base-0.6-2 and in this there is a Document listed as varfile. I am running OS X 10.3.9 Panther in conjunction with fink-0.28.5-11 Can anyone kindly tell me what I am doing wrong?
