The following sequence works for me (apart from the previously found selfupdate-cvs method): 1. Run the binary installer 2. fink scanpackages (or sudo apt-get update) 3. sudo apt-get install fink 4. fink selfupdate-rsync In point 3, "fink update fink" does not work. Not surprising, because there is no new fink.info file yet. In both points 3 and 4, "fink selfupdate" does *not* work, it just says that the latest point release is already installed and does not give the choice to use selfupdate-rsync instead. This is the same whether one does it before fink-0.27.15 is installed (point 3) or afterwards (point 4). The latter looks like a bug in fink-0.27.15. Dave, how much work would it really be to replace the broken fink in the binary installer? Can't be much more than what would be needed to write instructions on the home page how to selfupdate the binary-installed fink? -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
