However, that wouldn't help your first problem, which will occur whenever you enable unstable, is benign, and in the FAQ: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#packages-gz Running "fink scanpackages" will solve that. Problem #2 is that, associated with not having a .dmg build, there are _no_ official binaries of packages for 10.6, and that means that our build of "apt-get" can't be used to install anything that isn't already on your system. You need to use "fink install" instead. For that matter, "fink list" is of far more utility than "apt-cache search" in general, and definitely on 10.6. And even if we had a binary distribution for 10.6 right now, historically those haven't included packages that aren't in the stable tree. Problem #3 is that you're trying to install a nonexistent package: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/python-imaging We have our own names for packages, so don't make assumptions based on other packaging systems that use the same tools. Fink Is Not Kubuntu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
