<AKH> netcdf-absoft is only in the unstable tree, so it shows up as missing if you're only looking at the stable source tree.
The following 9 packages will be installed or updated:
clisp fftw-shlibs fort77 gnupg gnuplot hdf hdf5-shlibs octave tex4ht
The following 16 additional packages will be installed:
expat expat-shlibs gmp gmp-shlibs hdf5 hdf5-bin libjpeg libpng3 libtiff
libxml2 netcdf netcdf-bin pdflib readline tcltk-dev tcltk-shlibs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
So, I continued (is updating as we speak). Are these WARNINGS normal? Also, in checking my versions, I am running
Package manager version: 0.17.4
Distribution version: 0.6.2.cvs
and yet, I find so many people posting to this list running package manager 0.18.x . How does one get to that version?
<AKH> Fink 0.18.2-1 has been in the unstable tree, but was moved over to stable this evening. Do a "fink selfupdate" and you'll get it.
Also, do you recommend using cvs or rsync (from experience)? Thanks for all of your help.
Fink officially recommends rsync: the CVS server (there's only one) is prone to getting bogged down, whereas rsync has multiple mirrors available.
