Thanks for your reply, Alexander. Just switched back to "selfupdate-rsync" mechanism. Here goes the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fink -V ; fink validate tidy.info Package manager version: 0.24.12 Distribution version: 0.8.0.rsync Copyright (c) 2001 Christoph Pfisterer Copyright (c) 2001-2006 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. See the GNU General Public License for more details. Failed: Undefined subroutine &Fink::Validation::pkglist2lol called at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Validation.pm line 759. The problem appeared after adding patch phase related directives. In the code, the issue is at the installed copy of Validation.pm where pkglist2lol is invoked but not "imported": use Fink::Services qw(&read_properties &read_properties_var &expand_percent &get_arch); But this is already fixed on CVS where it reads: use Fink::Services qw(&read_properties &read_properties_var &expand_percent &get_arch &file_MD5_checksum &pkglist2lol &version_cmp); This is the fink (tool) I would like to install.
