Please excuse me asking a question when I'm still in the middle of
figuring out if it was the update or the update-all part that was
behaving oddly.
I ran selfupdate-cvs, which ran fine.
Then I ran 'fink update-all' and I got the response shown in the
first bit of output below. There are only two things I can thing that
might be wrong -- something with fink or something with my perl
installation, since I had been updating some perl modules with CPAN. I
use perl as intalled by Apple. I'm running Jaguar and using cvs.
WhenI tried to update xfree86 by simply using the update command
it seemed to worked (it is still running as I write). Any ideas?
