Hi all, I'm running 10.2.1 on Lombard PBG3, using unstable, and 'fink
--version' now says Package manager version: 0.11.1, Distribution
version: 0.5.0a.cvs.
I'll try to keep this short, but there's some Commander output included
below. I launched FinkCommander to run update-all and selfupdate-cvs,
just to keep up with the times considering the new 0.5 release, and was
faced with 30-some packages to update; many were listed as 'outdated'.
All was going well, recompiling for nearly an hour, until it got to
apt-shlibs, and things came to a halt with the message "activating
apt-shlibs." Commander would not accept any input to its query in the
command window about how to proceed:

originally had systemXFree, and later removed and replaced it with
Fink's packages. Fink continues to warn about this so maybe I haven't
fully or correctly removed it...}

==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** sources.list (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? {At this point, nothing
I type in is acknowledged, and FC just sits there waiting}
Many Thanks, and Happy Holidays to all of you!
