Summary: Current paths on the web for 10.3 binary packages no longer match the old sources.list.
Background: I am running fink 0.7.2 for OS X 10.3 (please no laughing!). Fink used to work on this Mac, but things are now broken. I am interested solely in installing binary packages (no compilations, no Xcode), and as an example want to execute: fink -b install wget and I get the following when I run as root: Computer:/Users/LTM root# /sw/bin/init.sh Computer:/Users/LTM root# fink -b install wget /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1plus is not executable! Information about 2135 packages read in 7 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: wget /sw/bin/apt-get -q --ignore-breakage --download-only install wget=1.8.2-2 /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1plus is not executable! Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following NEW packages will be installed: wget 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded. Need to get 345kB of archives. After unpacking 1249kB will be used. Err http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.3/release/main wget 1.8.2-2 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist/dists/fink-0.7.2/main/binary-darwin-powerpc//web/wget_1.8.2-2_darwin-powerpc.deb 404 Not Found E: Some files failed to download ### execution of /sw/bin/apt-get failed, exit code 100 Failed: Downloading the binary package 'wget_1.8.2-2_darwin-powerpc.deb' failed. I get a similar display when trying apt-get install wget. It turns out that the real .deb files are in http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.3/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/web/ and souces.list has # Official binary distribution: download location for packages # from the latest release deb http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist 10.3/release main crypto # Official binary distribution: download location for updated # packages built between releases deb http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist 10.3/current main crypto Additionally these names are shown in the folder /sw/var/lib/apt/lists bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_current_crypto_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_current_crypto_binary-darwin-powerpc_Release bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_current_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_current_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Release bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_release_crypto_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_release_crypto_binary-darwin-powerpc_Release bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_release_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages bindist.finkmirrors.net_bindist_dists_10.3_release_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Release and there is a consistent pointer in the file /sw/etc/fink.conf. But all of these references are wrong given the real location of the files on the web. Lastly, the supplied sources.list.finkbak references the path http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download which similarly does not exist. I tried various modifications to sources.list to try to bring it current, but these attempts made the matters worse. Can anyone provide a souces.list that will work with the current contents of the web? Once again this is for the *very ancient* 10.3 binaries.
