This can be an effective solution, but it's better to [a] just download and copy to /sw/src the file you need (or, as was also suggested, use "fink configure" to add other download directories), and [b] let the package maintainer know that there is a problem. This will allow the package to be updated so that all Fink users can benefit from the fix. To find the package maintainer, do a "fink info $package" and scan the output that gives you. > I believe this may be somewhat related to the changes with source > directories that Max Horn announced a few days ago, because when I > traversed the parent directories of the missing files > [http://fink.sourceforge.net/bindist/source/], I was led back to the > binary distribution announcement. But I could be wrong.) Could be. Wasn't part of the fix there to do a "fink selfupdate-cvs"?
