Hi martin, Sorry but you cut and past here somthing wrong ! My problem was not that i don't know what to do, my problem was that the fink scripts can't handle it when the files don't exist on the server anymore (update or somthing else), because curl fetch something anyway also the errormessage from webserver.

Aggressive argued, but a right solution ! It should be included in the scripts after curl was downloading the file to check the type. > So when you see a message like > >> tar -xzf /sw/src/rsync-2.5.1.tar.gz >> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format this was the output of fink !!! > your first reaction should NOT be to write to the mailing list, but to > type > > file /sw/src/rsync-2.5.1.tar.gz > > and then, when it tells you > > HTML document text > > to look at it with > > more /sw/src/rsync-2.5.1.tar.gz > > whereupon you will see the error message "file not found" or > "connection refused" or something. No need to hack fink. Just learn to > use some of the basic Unix tools. Both error messages were not in the listings, please come down !
