Fink-users,
I'm having trouble using finkself update and I would really appreciate some
help. I may have caused the problem myself because I accidentally followed
the instructions for the binary version instead of the source release.
My mistake occurred to me before finishing and I aborted. I've pasted the
transcript below.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I'm using..
Package manager version: 0.9.7
Distribution version: 0.3.2a
on OS X 10.1.4
The problem seems to be with tar or gzip?

rm -f LATEST-FINK
curl -L -s -S -O http://fink.sourceforge.net/LATEST-FINK
I will now download the package descriptions for Fink 0.4.0 and update the
core packages. After that, you should update the other packages using
commands like 'fink update-all'.
tar -xzf packages-0.4.0.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
### tar failed, exit code 2
Failed: unpacking packages-0.4.0.tar.gz failed
