I don't think running older versions of fink was ever guaranteed to work. Any reason why you don't "fink selfupdate" instead of "cvs up", or at least "fink update fink"? Running "cvs up" has the additional drawback - even if your fink isn't out of date - that if you do "fink list" afterwards you will be greeted by the anal warning "Your index is out of date, and fink has suddenly developed a reticence to run itself through sudo, so it can't update the index, sorry. Please wait 2 minutes while I am sulking" or something to that effect. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
