Actually, "fink list" is one of the few fink commands where prefixing with sudo does make sense, namely for avoiding the annoying message Fink has detected that your package index cache is missing or out of date, but does not have privileges to modify it. Re-run fink as root, for example with a "fink index" command, to update the cache. Personally, I think this message is a bug in fink, it should either ask if one wants to run index or just do it and ask for the password. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
