Sometimes when there's a large dependency graph to update, the engine gets confused. Unfortunately, it's often the case that you won't get a message about a specific package, so if you don't see one, just go ahead and do as Hanspeter suggested. Fortunately the 2.5 hours weren't wasted. At worst you may have had some packages get built but not yet installed, and that will be rectified by further update attempts. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkqf9hEACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ82lgCffadMtfutA8xBXLordBHVANUl 2PQAniHK8hqBytxJUfZ6UUcBBHwGI+CQ =Smqb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
