Just running a "point" selfupdate doesn't do anything substantive on 10.6, because that only moves you to the next binary release, and there isn't one for that platform. You can check what form of selfupdate you used e.g. via grep SelfUpdateMethod /sw/etc/fink.conf If that says "point", then use either "fink selfupdate-rsync" or "fink selfupdate-cvs" to turn on rsync or cvs updating, respectively. Afterward you can just use "fink selfupdate" unless you want to switch methods. If it says something else then we'll need to investigate further. One word of warning: there are currently some issues with the KDE3 packages, so you may encounter some problems getting to quanta. (KDE4 works, but we don't have a quqnta for that) - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxGOlcACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/sTgCfUIOnITWvTi23v5Fy339xpa7y KW8An3/u2K3xMqtF/P/mzHBgZQMoUDO/ =TYIU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
