[Fink-users] Can't update using dselect on first install

Title: Can't update using dselect on first install

Hi,

I’ve just installed the base Fink binaries and have followed the instructions to start adding packages to my system. However, when trying to update the list of packages in dselect, I get a series of errors:

Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Packages
46% [Connecting to fink.sourceforge.net (216.136.171.201)]FATAL -> Could not set non-blocking flag Operation not supported by device

update available list script returned error exit status 1.
Press <enter> to continue.

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on here (or what I’m doing wrong ;) ?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

David
