Hi All,

I've been trying to install fink on a 10.4 system from source and using
the 0.8.1 installer - both of which keep failing with:

./bootstrap
Checking package...auto/Storable/autosplit.ix did not return a true
value at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/AutoLoader.pm line 160.
at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Storable.pm line 21
looks good (fink-0.28.1).
Checking system... powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0
This system is supported and tested.

Distribution 10.4

The same error is thrown by AutoLoader.pm when i do a binary install and
do an apt-get update/dist-upgrade or try a fink selfupdate.
Fink selfupdate also dies by saying it is too old to update itself.

I'm running xcode 2.5 (latest one from apple as of two days ago),
although the same problem kept cropping up prior to upgrading to 2.5

I tried 'manually' installing everything using dpkg in the binary
installation, which allows me to update all but fink - I could not
figure out how to force an upgrade there.

Also, as a minor side note, finks failure always leaves a stale lock
file in /sw/var/cache/apt/ which makes the upgrade wait for an index run
to finish for ever (deleting the lock solves the problem).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Damian
