Apt normally gets updated right when you do 'fink selfupdate-cvs' (sinceselfupdate and selfupdate-cvs go through the 10.1 tree and into 10.2 but both eventually fail at the /sw/etc/apt/sources.list thing. Even after renaming it to sources.old I still got stopped at the same place and there was no sources.list file present. But there is this file: '/sw/etc/apt/sources.list.dpkg-new' Maybe I need to mv this file out of the way?
it's an essential package).
I suspect I screwed something up the first time this happened because I just quit the stalled Fink Commander for lack of knowing a more graceful way out. :0/
Fink Commander doesn't update its table while compiling, so you may well"fink list -i apt' returns the following --
have apt and apt-dev installed. Try running 'fink list -i apt' in a
terminal window.
Information about 1884 packages read in 16 seconds.
i apt-shlibs 0.5.4-7 Advanced front-end for dpkg
--this seems to indicate that indeed the apt and apt-dev are not seen as installed yet, only apt-shlibs. I deleted the renamed sources.old and there is still no sources.list file back in place.
I'm continuing to compile the other packages that FC said needed to be updated.
My Fink install has been updated with the Jaguar instructions, but I have not (knowingly) installed the new 0.5 binary distribution, even though the output of fink --version says Package manager version: 0.11.1, Distribution version: 0.5.0a.cvs.
Thanks for your ongoing help, Alexander.
