I hope these are not frequently asked questions; I couldn't figure out
a good way to search the mailing-list archives...

  
I am having a problem using "fink install"; namely, curl doesn't seem
to work.  (Or it doesn't work on URLs starting ftp://, maybe?)

For instance, 

  curl -L -P - -O ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz

doesn't work.  I think the problem is the "-P -" part; if I remove
that, the command works.  I don't have a firewall, and I don't use any
sort of proxy.  By the way, wget also works just fine.

So, can I configure fink to modify the command-line arguments to curl?
Or have it use wget instead of curl?


While I'm at it, dselect gives me problems.  If I run dselect, then
[U]pdate, I get the following messages.  Are they important?
