OK … mcrc13-7> fink selfupdate
Fink has the capability to run the cvs commands as a normal user. That has some advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the package descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please specify the user login name that should be used: [smithp01] For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full CVS access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only access. [anonymous] Failed: There is a left-over "/sw/fink.old" directory. You have to move it out of the way before proceeding. mcrc13-8> Moved "/sw/fink.old” and re-executed. Removed the /sw/fink/10.10.old directory Seems that the installation is OK now… mcrc13-13> fink -V Package manager version: 0.39.1 Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Mon Oct 5 10:44:54 2015, 10.10, x86_64 Trees: local/main stable/main local/injected Copyright (c) 2001 Christoph Pfisterer Copyright (c) 2001-2015 The Fink Package Manager Team This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Is that step worthwhile once you have 0.39.1 in place? -Ross > On Oct 5, 2015, at 10:41 AM, Alexander Hansen <alexanderk.han...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > >> On Oct 5, 2015, at 07:31, Smith, Phillip R. <smith...@nyumc.org> wrote: >> >> mcrc13-6> fink reinstall fink >> Scanning package description files >> not a reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1887. >> mcrc13-7> >> >> Sorry… >> > > I looked at the other thread, and I had the solution wrong.
