There were some changes in how Fink builds packages introduced in fink-0.30, and it's possible that those don't get along with compression. Try the following: 1) Download an older version of the fink package description from our CVS repository: http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/base/fink-10.6.info?revision=1.8 2) Save that in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, as fink.info or fink-10.6.info 3) Use "fink install fink-0.29.21-51" to downgrade fink. 4) Assuming that works, then try installing another package. Don't do a selfupdate or update-all yet, because those will switch you back to fink-0.31.2-51. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6EkUkACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9IGACcCNkTB8s2uabTKZ2xmyRKH15H frEAn1nxiqNvXQXnvBTZJqbXuYgtBHIP =Hp0r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
