Well, at least they got built, so it won't take too much time. > > > Check and see whether /sw/fink/dists is a symlink to /sw/fink/10.2 . > > Actually, check this before you install anything else. > > Ah yes, it is the symlink you indicated, and I have: > > /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system > which contains the following: > > [dhcp-24:main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system] mbovee% ls -la > total 94488 > drwxr-xr-x 7 root admin 238 Nov 2 12:20 . > drwxr-xr-x 13 root admin 442 Nov 2 15:35 .. > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 1920 Nov 2 12:20 > system-xfree86_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 1666042 Nov 2 04:03 > xfree86-base-shlibs_4.2.1.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 42508462 Nov 2 04:03 > xfree86-base_4.2.1.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 325372 Nov 2 04:04 > xfree86-rootless-shlibs_4.2.1.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 3865744 Nov 2 04:04 > xfree86-rootless_4.2.1.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb All looks well here. > > Should I go ahead and install the XFree86 packages that FinkCommander > thinks is missing? > It looks like they are actually there according to what's in the above > directory? They are built but not installed: the various */binary-darwin-powerpc directories are just repositories for debs that you build. When you have a deb in these directories for a package that's not installed, Fink Commander shows "archived". > > Also, to recover space is it okay to delete my /sw/fink.old directory > and contents? Actually, no: selfupdate-cvs requires you to have a fink.old directory. It doesn't save much space anyway, because all of the .debs get moved to /sw/fink. > Is it inadvisable to delete the XFree archives indicated by > FinkCommander? Install the packages first--they won't be listed as archived anymore. That being said, you can freely delete any deb files on your system--they are all just archives which aren't essential for your packages to function. > > thank You > --Michael > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: ApacheCon, November 18-21 in > Las Vegas (supported by COMDEX), the only Apache event to be > fully supported by the ASF. http://www.apachecon.com > _______________________________________________ > Fink-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users -- Alexander K.
