I was having a ton of problems getting things to update. I made what I believe were some poor choices to fix the problem. I simply installed the 0.4.0a package over my existing set up. This actually did fix all my problems, though I suspect their was some easier way. The package instruction seem to imply (technically they say it outright) that I should not have simply installed it over an existing installation of fink. I may have had 0.4.0a installed, since --version doesn't show the 'a', but reinstalling did fix some problem so something was wrong that is now right.
Anyhow, the stuff that wasn't working for me, control-center, gnucash, etc. eventually got recompiled and reinstalled. I'm sure there was a way to get things back that was simpler. Most of my software was current except for the packages going back in a dependency chain from gnucash to control-center. So, reinstalling these packages and gnome made "some" sense. I recompiled a lot of stuff through this dependecy chain and I'm guessing I should be able to install rapidly once I figure out how to access what show up in Fink Commander as "archived". Now I've developed a fondness for fink commander and most of what was working before shows up as archived. How do I dearchive packages that show up this way? What does archived mean? How rapidly can I change a packages state from archived to installed. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
