I'm on Mac OS X 10.10.5. I installed fink a few days ago and wanted to do a new installation. I was told to selfupdate.
Repeated updateds give: ---- % fink selfupdate /usr/bin/rsync -az -q rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. /usr/bin/rsync -rtz --delete-after --delete -q --include='10.9-libcxx/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='10.9-libcxx/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/crypto/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/crypto/finkinfo/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/crypto/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/' Downloading the indexes of available packages in the binary distribution. /sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait -q update Err file: local/main Packages File not found Ign file: local/main Release Err file: stable/crypto Packages File not found Ign file: stable/crypto Release Hit http://bindist.finkproject.org stable/main Packages Hit http://bindist.finkproject.org stable/main Release Hit http://bindist.finkmirrors.net stable/main Packages Hit http://bindist.finkmirrors.net stable/main Release Failed to fetch file:/sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/Packages File not found Failed to fetch file:/sw/fink/dists/stable/crypto/binary-darwin-x86_64/Packages File not found Reading Package Lists...
