Hello,
I apologize if this seems like a mundane problem, but I can't find any help in either the documentation, FAQ or fink-beginners list.
I recently downloaded fink, and the installation went smoothly. I already downloaded XDarwin, and followed the appropriate steps to inform fink I had done so. For a few days, fink worked perfectly. Now I can't download anything.
for the first problem, you might have a corrupted gzip install in /sw. some pther people had had this problem as well. try moving gzip and gunzip out of the way "sudo mv /sw/bin/gzip /sw/bin/gzip.old" and then try a fink reinstall gzip. if that does not work, try fink rebuild gzip. that should work, is nothing else does. do not know about the second error, though, except you might also have a bad ncurses also. after gzip is working again, you can try fink rebuild ncurses. as long as it is installed, the new version will be updated automatically.
HTH,
