I was trying to update the readline-4.3 package to include the readline
patches. So, I updated the readline.info file to grab the patches from GNU's
FTP site:

...
Source: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/%n/%n-%v.tar.gz
Source1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/%n-%v-patches/readline-001
Source2: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu.%n-%v-patches/readline-002
...etc....(source-md5 exists also)

When I run fink, fink attempts to download from fink's GNU mirror sites not
GNU's site and since the patches do not exist on Fink's GNU mirrors, the
download fails. For kicks I renamed the source command URL to
http://gnu/.... and it did the same thing. Looks like there is a BUG in Fink
that when it finds gnu anywhere in the URL, it defaults to Fink's GNU
mirrors.

I am running from the unstable tree using the latest Fink 20.5 (I believe)
on Mac OS X 10.3


Thanks,
Robert Leatherwood
