Hello all,
For some reason I can't do a fink update. It gives permission problems.
I'm not sure why since I run it with "sudo" and have admin permissions. Any
help would be *greatly* appreciated. Why does it say I don't have the right
permissions? Thanks.
My printout (modified to remove many of the dists) follows.
Thanks.
Jeff
"Your Fink installation is set up to update package descriptions directly
from
CVS. Do you want to use this setup and update now? [Y/n]
I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.
The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'hester'.
After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.
su myusername -c 'cvs -z3 update -d -P'
