According to http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/ethereal the current unstable version of Ethereal for OS 10.2 is:
current-10.2-gcc3.3: 0.9.16-1
So, to update my version from 0.9.14 to 0.9.16 I did the usual:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/net]: sudo cp ethereal.[i,p]* /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
Well, this is not considered usual any more (not by an official decision, but as a consequence of recent changes).
I am supposing that you
- are using rsync for your selfupdate, and that you have done a recent selfupdate, and you
- are using the stable distribution in general, with just some exceptions where you want to copy the package descriptions from unstable to local.
This is not supported any more. The selfupdate-rsync method is too smart for this ;-) It only updates your active trees. You have to revert back to selfupdate-cvs if you want to get up-to-date package descriptions in the unstable tree without activating unstable in the Trees line of your fink.conf file.
Or you can activate unstable temporarily, do the selfupdate-rsync, and then disactivate it again.
