the workaround is a good idea, but I'd still like to know where is fink pulling in the settings from. I simply can't find them or change them. My guess is I have a setting with a typo -- and that's the only reason the tests are failing. I still think I must be missing something. Afterall, if I start to do an update-all I am queried about additional installs that will also be done. Surely, there must be a way to force a query for other settings. -- Josh Kuperman | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
