Hello.
The other lines were more of what I included in the e-mail. There were no
errors on any of those lines.
I also tried running "sudo fink selfupdate" from the /sw directory instead
of my home directory and I get the same problem. I've got over 500 MB free
on my partition (I only use one). Alexander (thanks for the reply, btw)
suggested I just remove the offending file, in my case .new.ChangeLog.
Problem is that it's nowhere to be found. I did a "find /sw -name
.new.ChangeLog" and it didn't show up anything. I also did a find from main
(/) and didn't find the file. Strange. This is my first problem with fink
being a user for many months now. Odd. Any more stabs, ideas, suggestions,
...? :-)
Thanks again.
Jeff
