Fink selfupdate installs the new fink-0.17.2-1 and then crashees when trying to install the new fink-mirrors package:

Re-executing fink to use the new version...
Information about 2203 packages read in 3 seconds.
The following package will be installed or updated:
 fink-mirrors
Failed: No mirror site list file found for mirror 'sourceforge'.

This is not surprising, because the new fink doesn't contain the mirror list any more. I think the fink-mirrors package should have a hard-coded source URL, not a mirror:sourceforge one.

I am now trying to find a way out of this by

1. reinstalling the old version of fink-0.17.1-1
2. fink fetch fink-mirrors
3. fink install fink-mirrors (which will ask for reupdating fink, too)

OK, this worked.

I think if this is not fixed, we will soon need a new FAQ entry about this problem :-)

Merry Christmas everyone
