It would be interesting to see what Roy has there. I suspect there is a small lesson there to learn. > > The error I get when I run sudo fink selfupdate-cvs is: You don't need to sudo fink.

In fact, if you do things like "sudo cvs update" or some file copying using sudo, you get files owned by "root", where then you yourself don't have write permission. OTOH, fink selfupdate (even if you run it as "sudo fink selfupdate-cvs" is usually configured to run as yourself, and it assumes that the whole /sw/fink/ directory tree is writable by yourself. You end up with conflicts as you observed. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
