[Fink-devel] Regression caused by indexing changes

[Max Horn]

One of the last changes to speed up re-index causes a regression. Now if I enter e.g. "fink list -o" when my index is dirty, I get this:

fink list -o

Fink has detected that your package cache is out of date and needs an
update, but does not have privileges to modify it. Please re-run fink as
root, for example with a "fink index" command.
Information about 291 packages read in 1 seconds.


Uhm... what? That's definitly not right!

Either we should do it as it used to be (that is, build the cache, but simply not store it), with the warning message as it is.
Or we should use the existing (dirty) index and print out a warning that the index needs to be rebuilt.

But only reading a fraction of the real index is of course bad.



Cheers,

Max
